Common NameMethyl stearate
DescriptionMethyl stearate also known as Stearic acid methyl ester or Methyl octadecanoate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid methyl esters. Fatty acid methyl esters are compounds containing a fatty acid that is esterified with a methyl group. They have the general structure RC(=O)OR', where R=fatty aliphatic tail or organyl group and R'=methyl group. Methyl stearate is a very hydrophobic, neutral molecule that is practically insoluble in water. It is a key molecule of biodiesel fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) produced from vegetable oils. Methyl stearate has an oily, waxy aroma. Methyl stearate exists as a white solid and is commonly used in cosmetics as an emollient or skin conditioner. Methyl stearate has been detected, but not quantified in, cloves, clove oil, sage oil fennel, coriander and evergreen blackberries. This could make methyl stearate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Methyl stearate is a constituent of cannabis smoke and is formed during the combustion of cannabis ( Ref:DOI ).
