Questions

  1. Is it possible to synthesize linoleic acid synthetic? What I mean is, is it possible to make linoleic acid that does not come from a natural source?

    1 answer

    1. Currently, all linoleic acid products are purified from biological sources. This is the most common source for commercial linoleic acid.
      It may be possible to synthesize linoleic acid.
