Erucic acid (cis-13-docosenoic acid/C22:1) is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid of 22 carbon atoms, naturally found
in rapeseed and mustard oil.
Animal studies demonstrated that consumption of a high amount of erucic acid could cause cardiac damage.
So, low erucic acid-containing rapeseed oil, aka canola oil, has been used as edible oil and high erucic acid rapeseed is cultivated for industrial purposes.
Erucic acid is a widely used fatty acid in surfactants, lubricant and polymer industries. Due to the potential applications,
erucic acid derivatives, such as erucamide, erucate esters, erucyl alcohol have immense commercial value.
A significant level of erucic acid is reported in the brown alga Dictyota dichotoma.

Celignis will be presenting their outputs from the first 12-months of the project
Celignis's Oscar and Fernando are today attending the 12-month review meeting of our CBE-JU research project MANUREFINERY. The event is taking place at the facility of project partner ENCO in Naples, Italy.
MANUREFINERY, entitled "Smart modular mobile biorefining of manure to zero-waste maximising resource recovery for feed and fertiliser bioingredients in rural areas" is one of the 7 ongoing CBE-JU projects that Celignis is currently involved in. Click here to read more about these projects.
Today we welcomed our partners from the EnXylaScope project to Limerick for the final in-person meeting of the project. The event is being held at the Limerick Strand Hotel and will include a tour of Celignis's Bioprocess and Analytical facilities.
EnXylaScope has been a hugely successful project, leading to multiple innovations in enzyme discovery and biomass processing, with Celignis making impactful developments in technologies for xylan extraction and modification. The project's success has led to a number of follow-on projects (BIONEER and PROMOFER) that involve demonstration of these technologies at higher TRL levels.
Lalitha Presents our EnXylaScope Work at EUBCE 2025
Event takes place in Valencia Spain
Lalitha is today presenting the outputs of our EnXylaScope project at the 34th European Biomass Conference & Exhibition (EUBCE) which is being held in Valencia, Spain.
The presentation, entitled "EnXylaScope: Unleashing xylan's potential with enzymes for a scope of consumer products", will provide a wide-ranging overview of the project which is now in its 4th year.
