Olivetolic Acid

What is Olivanic Acid?

Olivanic Acid is a pentacyclic triterpenoid compound that was first extracted from olive leaves, hence the name. It is widely found in the plant kingdom, especially in plants such as Ginkgo, Hedyotis diffusa and Tripterygium wilfordii. It has attracted much attention for its various pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective effects. In addition, it has the characteristics of low toxicity and few side effects, making it an ideal natural medicine or cosmetic ingredient.

Source

1. Plant source
Olive oil
Olive oil contains a certain amount of oleic acid. The production process of olive oil also affects its content. Virgin olive oil usually retains more natural ingredients, and its content is closer to the original level in the fruit; while refined olive oil may change its content to a certain extent due to high temperature, chemical treatment and other factors during processing.

Other plants
Some plants related to the olive family or plants with similar chemical composition characteristics may also contain it, such as the fruits or seeds of some wild olive plants.

2. Chemical synthesis
It can be prepared by organic synthesis. Usually some basic organic raw materials are used as starting materials and synthesized through multi-step chemical reactions. For example, the molecular structure of oleic acid is constructed by the growth of carbon chains and the transformation of functional groups using the general principles of fatty acid synthesis. This method can accurately control its purity and yield to meet specific scientific research or industrial needs, such as for the production of special lubricants, surfactants and other chemical products.
