Triolein
Encyclopedia
Triolein is a triglyceride
and unsaturated fat
formed from oleic acid
. Triolein is used in Semipermeable membrane devices (SPMD) to collect organic compounds in form of a passive sampling device in water analysis. the collecting compound triolein is placed in a tube and set up in a cage like container into the water system (such as streams, rivers and other water reservoirs).
Triglyceride
A triglyceride is an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids. There are many triglycerides, depending on the oil source, some are highly unsaturated, some less so....
and unsaturated fat
Unsaturated fat
An unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain. A fat molecule is monounsaturated if it contains one double bond, and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond. Where double bonds are formed, hydrogen atoms are...

Oleic acid
Oleic acid is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid found in various animal and vegetable fats. It has the formula CH37CH=CH7COOH. It is an odorless, colourless oil, although commercial samples may be yellowish. The trans isomer of oleic acid is called elaidic acid...
