Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name ETHYL LINOLENATE.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

Ethyl linolenate

Ethyl linolenate is a long-chain fatty acid ethyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of linolenic acid with the hydroxy group of ethanol. It has a role as a plant metabolite and a human metabolite. It is functionally related to an alpha-linolenic acid. — ChEBI
