Oleic acid is a mixture composed of oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid and small amounts of stearic acid and palmitic acid, featuring unsaturated double bonds. It appears as a light yellow transparent oily liquid at room temperature, insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and gasoline. Upon hydrogenation, it converts to stearic acid and exhibits general chemical properties of organic carboxylic acids along with the chemical reactivity associated with unsaturated double bonds.
