Oleic acid is a fatty acid that occurs naturally in various animal and vegetable fats and oils. It is an odorless, colorless oil, although commercial samples may be yellowish. Oleic acid as its sodium salt is a major component of soap as an emulsifying agent.
Humic Acid. Humic acid is a liquid organic acid derived from decayed organic matter (humates or leonardites). It is the most important components of Potassium Humates. The humic acids group is defined not by chemical structure, but rather by the process through which it is isolated.he humic acid used in the manufacture of Potassium Humate is derived from a type of leonardite lignite blend that differs from its theoretical formula: part of its chemical structure has been oxidized away. These broken bonds create places on the molecules where micronutrient ions can be absorbed.
