Palmitic Acid C16-80 is a palm-derived saturated fatty-acid blend containing at least 80% C16:0 palmitic acid. Unlike chemically pure palmitic acid, this commercial grade may also contain stearic acid and limited quantities of other fatty acids. It is typically supplied as white flakes, beads or granules for convenient handling and feed manufacturing.
High-C16 supplements provide concentrated dietary fat and energy. Because palmitic acid is saturated and has a comparatively high melting profile, properly manufactured products can be relatively inert in the rumen and become available for digestion further along the gastrointestinal tract. However, the term rumen bypass does not mean that every portion escapes rumen interaction or is completely absorbed.

Research has reported improvements in milk-fat yield, energy-corrected milk or feed efficiency in some trials using C16-enriched supplements. Other work found improved fatty-acid digestibility and feed efficiency without an increase in milk or milk-fat yield. These differences demonstrate why results depend on dosage, supplement composition, diet, production level and stage of lactation.
Mars Oleochemicals supplies Palmitic Acid C16-80 in 25-kilogram laminated bags and 700-kilogram bulk bags, with container-loading options depending on packing and palletisation. Buyers should request the current specification, SDS, TDS, Certificate of Analysis, contaminant testing, feed documentation, origin declaration and applicable certifications before approving the material.
1. What is Palmitic Acid C16-80? Palmitic Acid C16-80 is a commercial saturated fatty-acid blend containing at least 80 percent C16:0 palmitic acid. It is supplied in flakes, beads or granules for feed and industrial formulations.
2. What does C16-80 mean? C16 identifies the 16-carbon palmitic-acid chain, while 80 indicates that the commercial grade contains at least 80 percent palmitic acid in its fatty-acid composition.
3. Is Palmitic Acid C16-80 chemically pure palmitic acid? No. It is a fatty-acid blend. Mars Oleochemicals specifies at least 80 percent palmitic acid and up to 20 percent stearic acid, with limited quantities of shorter-chain fatty acids.
4. What are the CAS number, EC number and molecular formula? Pure palmitic acid uses CAS number 57-10-3, EC number 200-312-9 and molecular formula C16H32O2. These identifiers describe the principal component rather than every component of the commercial C16-80 blend.
5. What is the HS code for Palmitic Acid C16-80? The international six-digit HS subheading is 2915.70 for palmitic acid, stearic acid and their salts and esters. The complete national tariff extension should be confirmed with the relevant customs authority.
6. Is Palmitic Acid C16-80 a rumen bypass fat? It is marketed and formulated as a high-C16, relatively rumen-inert fatty-acid supplement. The term bypass should not be interpreted as complete rumen escape, and suitability depends on the complete ration and product specification.
7. What benefits can Palmitic Acid C16-80 provide in dairy diets? It can increase dietary energy density and may support milk-fat yield, energy-corrected milk or feed efficiency under suitable conditions. Responses vary, so specific production results should not be guaranteed.
8. How much Palmitic Acid C16-80 should be fed? There is no universal inclusion rate. The amount should be determined by a qualified ruminant nutritionist according to milk yield, forage quality, total dietary fat, lactation stage and local feed regulations.
9. Which quality parameters should buyers review? Buyers should review the C16 and C18 composition, total fatty matter, acid value, iodine value, titer, moisture, physical form, contaminants, feed-safety documents and current Certificate of Analysis.
10. Where can buyers source Palmitic Acid C16-80 from Malaysia? International buyers can contact Mars Oleochemicals Sdn. Bhd. for Palmitic Acid C16-80 specifications, packing options, feed-safety documents, certification information, availability and export quotations.
