Applications
9,12,15-cis-Octadecatrienoic acid, commonly known as alpha-linolenic acid, is an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid with several practical applications. In food and nutrition, it is used as a nutritional ingredient and omega-3 supplement in processed foods and nutraceutical products. In cosmetics and personal care, it serves as an emollient and skin-conditioning lipid in natural oil formulations. In agriculture and animal feed, it may be added to diets to supply omega-3 fatty acids to livestock and aquatic species. In industrial manufacturing, it acts as a biobased feedstock for oleochemical derivatives and as a component in drying oils and alkyd resins for coatings and inks, and as a starting point for polymeric materials. Its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
