Erucic Acid (Cat.No:R045693) is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid found in certain vegetable oils, particularly high in varieties of rapeseed. While it has industrial applications, excessive consumption may be associated with health concerns. It is used in industrial applications, such as in the production of lubricants and plasticizers.
