Biological Context

Heptadecanoic acid methyl ester is an esterified form of heptadecanoic acid . It has been found in biodiesel produced by C. sorokiniana microalgae as well as in several types of animal fat biodiesel.1,2 Heptadecanoic acid methyl ester has been used as an internal standard for the quantification of fatty acid methyl esters in human plasma.3
