This compound has attracted attention as it is a major trans-fat found in hydrogenated vegetable oils and trans fats which are implicated in heart ailments. It is a trans isomer of oleic acid. In 1819, Elaidic acid was first discovered by Poutet J.J.E. In 1832, Boudet F. studied Poutet’s work accurately and isolated fatty acid which was named as acide elaidique derived from Greek word elais referring olive.
