What is Erucic Acid?

Erucic acid is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid with 22 carbon atoms and one double bond, chemically classified as cis-13-docosenoic acid. It is primarily found in the seeds of plants belonging to the Brassicaceae family, notably in rapeseed, mustard seed, and wallflower seed oils. Erucic acid is widely used in industrial applications due to its unique chemical structure, which imparts desirable lubricating and emollient properties. It serves as a raw material in the production of erucamide, used as a slip agent in plastic films, and is also involved in the manufacturing of lubricants, surfactants, and cosmetics. Although high levels of erucic acid in food oils have raised health concerns, particularly regarding heart health, regulatory standards have limited its concentration in edible oils. Consequently, low-erucic acid varieties such as canola have been developed for food use, while high-erucic acid oils continue to support various industrial applications globally.

Market Trend and Drivers of Erucic Acid:

The erucic acid market is primarily driven by increasing demand from the plastics, lubricants, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. In the plastics sector, erucic acid-derived erucamide is used as a slip agent in polyethylene and polypropylene films, enhancing surface smoothness and processing efficiency. The cosmetics industry utilizes erucic acid in formulations for skin care products, owing to its emollient and conditioning properties. Additionally, the growing emphasis on bio-based and sustainable industrial inputs has bolstered the use of plant-derived erucic acid in green chemistry applications. In the lubricant sector, erucic acid serves as a feedstock for biodegradable lubricants, aligning with rising environmental regulations. The pharmaceutical industry also contributes to market growth through its use of erucic acid in certain formulations and research contexts. Furthermore, advancements in agricultural biotechnology have led to the cultivation of high-erucic acid crops optimized for industrial output, reinforcing supply stability and supporting the market’s long-term development.
