General description

Undecylenic acid is also referred to as 10-undecenoic acid. It exhibits anti-bacterial activity against various pathogenic fungi in the pH range of 4.5 to 6.0. It has fungicidal properties.

Application


  • Emulsion Liquid Membranes Based on Os-NP/n-Decanol or n-Dodecanol Nanodispersions for p-Nitrophenol Reduction.: This study explores the use of emulsion liquid membranes incorporating undecylenic acid for the reduction of p-nitrophenol. The findings highlight the potential of these membranes in environmental applications, specifically in the removal of harmful organic compounds from water (Pîrțac et al., 2024).

  • Retention behavior of nucleosides and nucleobases on a 3 μm undecylenic acid-functionalized silica column in per aqueous liquid chromatography and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography separation modes.: This article details the development of a novel undecylenic acid-functionalized silica column for improved separation of nucleosides and nucleobases. The column shows enhanced retention and selectivity, offering significant advancements in chromatographic techniques for biochemical analysis (Cheng et al., 2024).
