General description

Palmitic acid belongs to the group of saturated fatty acids and accounts for 20-30 % of the total fatty acids present in the human body.

This substance is listed on the positive list of the EU regulation 10/2011 for plastics intended to come into contact with food. Find all available reference materials for compounds listed in 10/2011 here
