Vaccenic acid
Vaccenic acid is a trans fat found in the fat of ruminants and in dairy products. Its IUPAC name is trans-7-octadecenoic acid, and its lipid shorthand name is 18:1 trans-11. The name was derived from the Latin vacca (cow).[1] Additional recommended knowledgeVaccenic acid was discovered in 1928 in animal fats and butter. It is the main trans fatty acid isomer present in milk fat.[1] Mammals convert it into rumenic acid, a conjugated linoleic acid,[2][3] where it shows anticarcinogenic properties.[4] Its stereoisomer, Cis-Vaccenic acid is an Omega-7 fatty acid found in Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) oil.[5] Its IUPAC name is cis-7-octadecenoic acid, and its lipid shorthand name is 18:1 cis-11. Old Person SmellIt has been suggested that omega-7 unsaturated fatty acids, such as palmitoleic acid and vaccenic acid, found on the skin surface may be the cause of the phenomenon commonly known as old person smell.[6] References
