Dilinoleic acid/propanediol is a synthetic compound made by combining dilinoleic acid (a dimer of linoleic acid, a fatty acid) and propanediol (a type of glycol). It is rarely used as a direct food ingredient and is more commonly found in cosmetics, polymers, or technical applications. There is limited evidence for its use or safety as a food ingredient, and it is not on the FDA's list of Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) food substances.
