Description

• Application: Chemical Changes of Hydroperoxy-, Epoxy-, Keto- and Hydroxy-Model Lipids under Simulated Gastric Conditions.: This study explores the stability and chemical transformations of hydroxy fatty acids, including Methyl 12-hydroxystearate, under digestive conditions, providing insight into dietary fat metabolism and its implications for nutritional sciences (Marquez-Ruiz et al., 2021).Stimulation of nitrogen removal in the rhizosphere of aquatic duckweed by root exudate components.: This research highlights the potential environmental applications of Methyl 12-hydroxystearate, as a standard, in enhancing nitrogen cycling, important for studies on wastewater treatment and ecosystem management (Lu et al., 2014).Synthesis and evaluation of antioxidant and antifungal activities of novel ricinoleate-based lipoconjugates of phenolic acids.: This study investigates the synthesis of derivatives of Methyl 12-hydroxystearate for potential use in food preservation and pharmaceutical applications, emphasizing its antioxidant and antifungal properties (Reddy et al., 2012).
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Methyl 12-hydroxystearate is a methyl esterified fatty acid used as a reference for the identification and quantification of 12-hydroxystearic acid, a molecular organogelator, found in tissues, membranes, synthetic molecular gels and copolymers.
