CALCIUM UNDECYLENATE (Calcium Salt of Undecylenic Acid)CAS No. 1322-14-1.
Calcium Undecylenate is also known as Undecylenic Acid Calcium Salt, Calcium Salt of Undecylenic Acid which is classified under CAS No. 1322-14-1.
Calcium undecylenate is an extremely effective, well-tolerated, broad-spectrum antifungal. It is a calcium salt of undecylenic acid (UA) derived by the vacuum distillation of castor bean oil. It’s an 11 carbon mono-unsaturated fatty acid (the antifungal properties of a medium chain fatty acid increases as the chain lengthens and peaks at 11 – caprylic acid contains only 8 carbon chains). Several studies have demonstrated that undecylenic acid is 4-5 times as powerful an antifungal agent as caprylic acid in the same dosage.
Calcium Undecylenate is a White fine powder Practically insoluble in water, in ether, in alcohol, in choloroform, in acetone, and in cold alcohol, slightly soluble in hot alcohol.
