	FDA/CFSAN/OPA: Agency Response Letter: GRAS Notice No. GRN 000069
		Behenic acid is produced by hydrolysis of high erucic acid rapeseed oil at a high temperature (at least 200C) under steam pressure, and subsequent hydrogenation of erucic acid to behenic acid in the presence of a nickel catalyst, which is used in accordance with 21 CFR 184.1537.
		Thixo considers the use of behenic acid to be self-limiting at levels greater than 8 percent, because such use levels may cause foods that contain behenic acid to become too hard, or cause other characteristics of the food (such as texture, mouth feel, and melting point) to be altered.
		Thixo estimates the intake of behenic acid by the total population in the United States from Thixo's proposed food uses to be approximately 0.68 g/p/d at the mean level and approximately 1.36 g/p/d at the 90th percentile level.

		The reactive derivative of behenic acid is preferably an acid halide, especially the acid chloride, or the acid anhydride.
		The non-toxic acid addition salts of the compounds of formula I are preferably salts of pharmaceutically acceptable acids such as mineral acids, for example hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid, and the like, and organic acids such as acetic acid, tartaric acid, maleic acid, citric acid, methane sulphonic acid, and the like.
		The residue was crystallized from hexane and consisted of the behenic acid ester of 2-trifluoromethyl-7-fluoro-10-(3'-(4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperidyl)propyl)phen othiazine, melting at 57-58 degrees Centigrade.

		Improvements in plasma fatty acids and vitamins E and C were the only factors found related to improvements in life expectancy and 70% lowering of heart disease in a study population [4].
		Gamma linolenic acid corrects most of the biological effects of zinc deficiency [19], indicating that the requirement of the D5 desaturase enzyme for zinc is a first-order essential function of zinc.
		This ratio increases markedly during exercise as the saturated fatty acids are preferentially utilized as energy sources, causing plasma levels to fall relative to the unsaturated fatty acids [35].

	Patent 4602057
		Due to the presence of behenic acid in the amount stated, the adhesion of the normal trade heat-sealing adhesive based on copolyamides is clearly increased, on average by between 20 and 25%.
		The increase in the adhesive strength by the behenic acid additive and/or the possibility of reducing the coating weight with said additive is not restricted solely to the powder dot coating process.
		Since the latter effect is less marked with behenic acid than it is with stearic acid, it is expedient to use additionally fatty acid aluminium- or alkaline earth salts such as finely dispersed magnesium stearate, which substantially favours the retentive capacity.

		According to GRP 4G0407, bohenin is a triglyceride containing behenic acid at the 1- and 3- positions and oleic acid at the 2-position.
		Behenic acid is a saturated fatty acid that occurs naturally in peanuts, most seed fats, animal milk fat and marine oils.
		Bohenin is produced by the interesterification of 1, 2, 3-triglycerides derived from oleic acid and ethyl behenate in the presence of a suitable lipase enzyme preparation.

		It is particularly preferred that the mixture of acids comprises 2 or more kinds of long-chain higher aliphatic carboxylic acids which contain from 10 to 30 carbon atoms and preferably from 15 to 28 carbon atoms, besides 22 carbon atoms that behenic acid contains.
		It is particularly preferred that the mixture of acids comprises behenic acid, stearic acid and arachic acid and the total content of stearic acid and arachic acid is 10 to 200 mol %, based on the amount of behenic acid.
		840 g of behenic acid and 95 g of stearic acid were added to 12 liters of water, and a solution containing 48 g of sodium hydroxide and 63 g of sodium carbonate in 1.5 liters of water was added to the solution kept at 90.degree.

	fatty acid structure
		Fatty acids with 4 to 12 carbon atoms are found mainly in milk fats (mainly butyric acid in cow and decanoic acid in sheep) but those with 10 and 12 carbon atoms are found also in certain seed oils such as coconut and other kernel fats of the palm family.
		Saturated fatty acids were shown to be the major constituents of adipocere (similar to "adipocire" studied by Chevreul), the white and soap-like decomposition product which forms due to the post-mortem conversion of body adipose tissue (Pfeiffer S et al., J Forensic Sci 1998, 43, 368).
		A new unsaturated methyl-branched fatty acid, 9-methyl-16:1(n-6) and the uncommon 11-methyl- 18:1(n-6) were found in the lipid extract of a new strain of bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus associated with the alga Cladophora coelothrix (Carballeira NM et al., Lipids, 1997, 32, 1271).

		Fatty acids are predominantly unbranched and those with even numbers of carbon atoms between 12 and 22 carbons long react with glycerol to form lipids (fat-soluble components of living cells) in plants, animals, and microorganisms.
		The saturated fatty acids have no double bonds, while oleic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid has one double bond (also described as olefinic) and polyunsaturated fatty acids like linolenic acid contain two or more double bonds.

	Patent 4017660
		The molecules usually employed for the formation of these films are either stearic acid (C.sub.17 H.sub.35 COOH) and the metal salts of said acid or behenic acid (C.sub.21 H.sub.43 COOH) and the metal salts of said acid.
		The films formed by the molecules of.alpha.-hydroxy-behenic acid deposited on an insulating or conducting substrate are highly uniform and compact.
		From the point of view of thermal resistance, a substantial improvement is observed in comparison with films of the prior art : whereas the material obtained with behenic acid normally melts at 90.degree.

	Ayaz & Kadioglu--Fatty acid changes in persimmon
		In the fruit, 11 fatty acids were identified and quantified: myristic acid (14:0), palmitic acid (16:0), palmitoleic acid (16:1), stearic acid (18:0), oleic acid (18:1), linoleic acid (18:2), linolenic acid (18:3), arachidic acid (20:0), behenic acid (22:0), lignoceric acid (24:0), and pentacosanoic acid (26:0).
		The highest levels of these four acids were found at 251 DOY whereas the levels of these acids began to decrease between 273 and 320 DOY.
		Another four fatty acids: arachidic acid (20:0), behenic acid (22:0), lignoceric acid (24:0), and pentacosanoic acid (26:0), did not show the same increases or decreases in during development, but the levels were found to be significantly important in some stages.

		In lard, palmitic acid occurs almost exclusively at sn-2 and oleic at the outside positions, while in tallow the saturates are distributed at the sn-1,3 positions.
		Linoleic acid (18:2n-6) is called “omega-6,” or “n-6,” because its first double bond occurs at the sixth carbon from the omega, or methyl (-CH3), end of the fatty acid.
		The primary fatty acids are oleic and linoleic, with the remainder consisting of palmitic and stearic saturated fatty acids.

	Study by Infrared Spectroscopy of Ultrathin Films of Behenic Acid Methyl Ester on Solid Substrates and at the Air/Water ...
		Ultrathin films of behenic acid methyl ester (BAME) deposited by spin coating on solid substrates or spread at the air/water interface were studied by infrared spectroscopy and Brewster angle microscopy.
		The anisotropic extinction coefficients and the polarized ATR spectra were used to calculate the tilt angle of several transition moments and also the molecular tilt angle of BAME molecules assuming an all-trans conformation of the alkyl chain.
		The simulation of the PM-IRRAS spectrum of a BAME monolayer recorded at 30 mN/m using the optical constants obtained from films prepared by spin coating indicate that, as opposed to the orientation on solid substrates, the alkyl chain of BAME is nearly perpendicular to the air/water interface in Langmuir films.

	Choline Oxidase Associated with Behenic Acid LB Films. Reorganization of Enzyme-Lipid Association under the Conditions ...
		As a model, choline oxidase was associated with behenic acid LB films either through a direct adsorption onto the head groups of the lipidic LB films or through an adsorption followed by the transfer of a behenic acid layer onto the protein molecules, which sandwiched the enzyme between the polar groups of two lipidic layers.
		The association of choline oxidase with the fatty acid LB films acts as an accelerating factor of this lipidic reorganization.
		These results can be explained by the effects of both hydration of the multilayers and the establishment of repulsive interactions either between protein and lipid molecules or between lipid molecules themselves.
