nervonic acid is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid and very difficult to find naturally in the diet.
i did some research and found that it is possible to obtain it from very few sources, plants and microorganisms like marine bacterium and some molds.
i also found it in the typical yeast for making alcohol, Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

I have no idea about the content in it tho, but i also read this
"Most added wine yeasts are strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, though not all strains of the species are suitable".

so, im questioning this, is it possible to get this rare fatty acid from wine after being fermented from the yeast that is supposedly having a good amount of it ? :\
 
im intrigued by it

i knew someone will ask this and usually ill enjoy if we go along the discussion rather than be sidetracked
 
do you have some kind of demeylinating disease? anyway, i know its in breast milk and added to infant formula.
 
no i dunno actually im just interested in it.
i find it weird nobody else finds this interesting in here even tho all of u enjoy biochemistry
 
i gotta be honest with you man, you sound like you might be tweaking.

its kinda weird that you have an interest in a vague molecule without any purpose or larger goal.

maybe you should tell us why its so interesting?
 
This is Advanced DRUG Discussion, where drugs (typically recreational, but not exclusively) are discussed (with some interesting exceptions - this thread not being one of them)...

Your thread is poorly written, and the answer could be done with some research. I don't think anyone here knows off of the top of their head if S. cerevisiae yeast will produce some obscure fatty acid. Look it up.

Again, no one cares. You didn't even spell difficult correctly in the subject of your thread. You are certainly not in a position to question my knowledge of biochemistry (or anyone else's for that matter).

In other words, lick my nuts; they are lighted salted with KCN...

Why would any of us happen to be interested in what is, as far as you've told us here, a completely random fatty acid out of hundreds or thousands of fatty acids in the human body. It's as if i was suddenly coming on here and asking about Purine and asking where i could get it (EDIT: No, sorry, asking whether i could grow yeast that would produce it and how to extract it from them! Even more ridiculous) and deriding people when they asked why i wanted it. I just like purine, okay?

In any case, it is definitely commercially available. Never make something when you can buy it from someone who churns it out by the ton with all accompanying economies of scale. 5 minutes of quality time with google turned up lots of manufacturers, mostly B2B stuff, and a few mentions of it being used as a dietary supplement either as a nootropic or to treat MS or similar conditions.

Either OP has fixated on this chemical and needs to lay off the, ah, advanced drugs, or he has MS or similar.
 
TheAzo cuz remember when omega 3s were obscure and nobody bothered with them ? they are so popular now and huge business. probably back in the days someone made thread like this questioning their possibilities and people made fun of them.
maybe this fatty acid as well can become something worthy to have in the diet with more research and acknowledgment. im just trying to get the word out.

i did

and check ur past threads, one of them

rohypnol ? dude at least i dont associate with such illegal things. my thread is about helpful substances, not ones u can use for bad things.
 
there are at least a couple of alaskan salmon oils on the market that are produced in such a manner as to preserve a fuller spectrum of omegas, including omega 9s, which include nervonic acid. hth.
 
i usually see the omega 3s being sold like that but hardly any omega 9s and i didnt know fish contains enough 9s compared to 3s.
do u know the ration between them ? how much mg 9s might there be
 
negrogesic, there's no need to limit Advanced Drug Discussion to recreational drugs. Every fatty acid is a drug in its own right. Nervonic acid is theorized to be an endogenous ligand at the PPAR-a receptor. It circulates in the blood either as a free fatty acid or as nervonoyl-CoA, not becoming bound up in triglyceride form like many other fatty acids.
 
coolio can u help me more on this fatty acid. like what i posted in first post.
 
Wine does not contain any fatty acids in appreciable amounts. Have you ever tasted a greasy wine before?!

wine can have heavy taste (its tannins i guess) but also it has many calories i dunno.

anyway if they make wine from Saccharomyces cerevisiae which is said to have a good amount of nervonic acid, does it just dissapear into the wine process ? maybe the residues left over are full of it ?
 
You're not thinking this through. No matter what % of Saccharomyces cerevisiae's weight consists of nervonic acid, the amount of fats in the finished wine product are negligible. All of wine's calories come from carbohydrates. If there was trace nervonic acid in wine, you would probably end up paying $100000/lb for the fat after performing an almost futile extraction.
