Fatty Acids Manufacturers

Fatty acids are aliphatic monocarboxylic acids, derived from, or contained in esterified form in an animal or vegetable fat, oil or wax. Natural fatty acids commonly have a chain of 4 to 28 carbons (usually unbranched and even numbered), which may be saturated or unsaturated. By extension, the term is sometimes used to embrace all acyclic aliphatic carboxylic acids.Fatty acids can be saturated and unsaturated, depending on double bonds. Saturated fatty acids do not contain any double bonds or other functional groups along the chain.
