Palmitelaidic acid (Cat.No:M119700) is a trans-fatty acid found in small amounts in some hydrogenated vegetable oils and animal fats. It is a geometric isomer of oleic acid and has been associated with adverse health effects when consumed in excess. Monitoring and limiting its intake is important for a healthy diet.
