  <name>Octadecenoic acid</name>
  <description>Octadecenoic acid is also known as octadecenoate. Octadecenoic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Octadecenoic acid can be found in a number of food items such as papaya, potato, black walnut, and borage, which makes octadecenoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. </description>
