Stearamide and the Pescatarian Diet
Stearamide is an organic compound belonging to the class of fatty amides. It is primarily used in the manufacturing of plastics and rubbers as a slip agent and anti-blocking agent. In food applications, it may be used in the processing of certain food packaging materials. Stearamide is produced by the reaction of stearic acid with ammonia or an amine. Stearic acid itself can be sourced from both animal fats, such as those from cows, pigs, and sheep, and plant-based oils, such as palm or coconut oil.
