Usage

Description

Triacontanoic acid, also known as Melissic acid, is a C30 very long straight-chain saturated fatty acid that is isolated from the pericarp of Trichosanthes rosthornii. It appears as a slightly yellow fluffy crystalline powder and has various applications across different industries.

Uses

1. Used in Biochemical Research:
Triacontanoic acid is used as a research compound for studying its properties and potential applications in the field of biochemistry.
2. Used in Agricultural Applications:
Triacontanoic acid is used as a pesticide removal agent for the treatment of fruit via ozone-microbubble treatment, helping to eliminate residual pesticides and ensuring the safety of the produce.
3. Used in Environmental and Analytical Chemistry:
Melissic acid was used in a study on the identification and determination of very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in freshwater crustacean species Bathynella natans, contributing to the understanding of these fatty acids in aquatic ecosystems.

Lupeol ester from Clerodendrum phlomidis L.

A new triterpene ester, together with tetratriacontanol and 24β-ethylcholesta-5,22E,25-triene-3β-ol, has been isolated from the aerial parts of Clerodendrum phlomidis L. Occurrence of a triterpene fatty acid ester lup-20(29)-en-3-triacontanoate in this plant is of taxonomic importance. Structures of all the isolated compounds have been established by spectroscopic and chemical studies.
