Palmitic acid is one of the most widely distributed fatty acids in nature. It appears as white crystal at room temperature, insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents such as ether, chloroform, acetone and so on. It is widely found in various oils, such as tallow fat, palm oil, varnish, cottonseed oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, corn germ oil, fish oil, milk fat, beef, sheep, pig fat, etc. It also forms esters (natural waxes) with higher saturated monoalcohols, which are widely found in many kinds of animals and plants..
