the most abundant fatty acid in nature forming about 50% of the total fatty acids in many fats and is found in all naturally existing fats.
OLEIC ACID
are fatty acids that humans and other animals must ingest because the body requires it for good health but cannot synthesize them, because humans lack the enzyme desaturase that is required for their production.
