Application
Methyl stearate has been used as a reference standard in gas chromatography (GC) to evaluate the absolute amount of methyl stearate among the fatty acid methyl esters of biodiesel to evaluate the intramuscular fatty acid profile of fresh lamb meat in GC to qualitatively analyse the transesterification reaction products by thin layer chromatography.

Purpose
For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

General Description
Methyl stearate or methyl octadecanoic acid is a saturated methyl ester and a representative key molecule of biodiesel fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) produced from vegetable oils.Methyl stearate occurs naturally in clove oil.
