Ethyl oleate is an orally active fatty acid ester, formed from the condensation of oleic acid and ethanol. It is the primary fatty acid ethyl ester found in the blood after alcohol ingestion. This product exhibits no significant toxicity to rats, and its absorption, distribution, and excretion are comparable to triacylglycerol. It can accelerate the drying process of certain foods and serves as a liquid lipid component in nanostructured lipid carriers.
