Description

General description

Oleic acid, an unsaturated fatty acid, is commonly utilized in microbiological processes for the formulation of lipid-based drug delivery systems, particularly in vaccines and biologics. It aids in the stabilization of emulsions, which is critical in the preparation of vaccines and other injectable biologics. Additionally, oleic acid plays a role in the optimization of the pharmacokinetics of biologically-derived therapies.

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) provides quality standards for biologics to ensure their safety, efficacy, and quality throughout the manufacturing process. These standards assist manufacturers in adhering to regulatory requirements and help safeguard public health by reducing risks associated with biologics.
