Vaccenic acid is a naturally occurring trans fatty acid and an omega-7 fatty acid. It is the predominant kind of trans-fatty acid found in human milk, in the fat of ruminants, and in dairy products such as milk, butter, and yogurt.[1][2] Vaccenic acid was discovered in 1928 in animal fats and butter.
Mammals (including humans) convert it into rumenic acid, a conjugated linoleic acid. This reaction is mediated by delta-9 desaturase.[3][4]
Cow milk had highest vaccenic acid content in the first few days of milking.[5]
Its IUPAC name is (11E)-11-octadecenoic acid, and its lipid shorthand name is 18:1 trans-11. The name was derived from the Latin vacca (cow).[6] Its stereoisomer, cis-vaccenic acid, is found in sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) oil.[7] Its IUPAC name is (11Z)-11-octadecenoic acid, and its lipid shorthand name is 18:1 cis-11.
