Metabolite Identification
Common NamePetroselinic acid
DescriptionPetroselinic acid, also known as (6Z)-Octadecenoic acid, is an 18-carbon unsaturated fatty acid that occurs naturally in several animal and vegetable fats and oils. It is a white powder and is commercially available. In chemical terms, petroselinic acid is classified as a monounsaturated omega-12 fatty acid, abbreviated as 18:1 cis-6. Petroselinic acid is a positional isomer of oleic acid. The term "petroselinic" means related to, or derived from, oil of Petroselinum, or oil of parsley. Petroselinic acid was first isolated from parsley seed oil in 1909. Petroselinic acid occurs in high amounts in plants in the Apiaceae family (a family of mostly aromatic flowering plants named after the genus Apium and commonly known as the celery, carrot or parsley family), Araliaceae (a family of flowering plants composed of about 43 genera and around 1500 species consisting of primarily woody plants and some herbaceous plants), Griselinia (Griseliniaceae) and in Garryaceae. The occurrence of petroselinic acid as the major fatty acid is used in chemosystematics as a proof of a close relationship of several families within the Apiales as well as within the Garryales. Petroselonic acid has been found in coriander (Coriandrum sativum) and cumin (Cuminum cyminum) and caraway seeds. In addition, petroselinic acid has been found in minor amounts in several fats of plant and animal origin, including in human sources. Petroselinic acid is an important oleochemical material for the food, cosmetics, chemistry and pharmaceutical industry (PMID: 16604360 ) as it can be easily processed into lauric and adipinic acid.
