Methyl stearate is a fatty acid methyl ester used as a nonionic surfactant in various experiments in helping solubilize a variety of chemical species by dissociating aggregates and unfolding proteins. Methyl stearate is one of the key fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) component of biodiesel fuel produced by the transesterification of triglyceride oil and a primary alcohol.
