Vaccenic acid is a naturally occurring trans fatty acid and an omega-7 fatty acid. It is the predominant kind of trans-fatty acid found in human milk, in the fat of ruminants, and in dairy products such as milk, butter, and yogurt. [1] [2] Trans fat in human milk may depend on trans fat content in food. [3] [4] Vaccenic acid was discovered in 1928 in animal fats and butter. Mammals convert it into rumenic acid, a conjugated linoleic acid, [5]

Cow milk had highest trans-vaccenic acid content in the first few days of milking. [6]

Its IUPAC name is (11E)-11-octadecenoic acid, and its lipid shorthand name is 18:1 trans-11. The name was derived from the Latin vacca (cow). [4] Its stereoisomer, cis-vaccenic acid, is found in sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) oil. [7] Its IUPAC name is (11Z)-11-octadecenoic acid, and its lipid shorthand name is 18:1 cis-11.
