1. A process for making a phenolic fatty acid compound having a reduced phenolic ester content, comprising:

providing a fatty acid composition comprising at least one unsaturated fatty acid; and

reacting a phenolic compound with the fatty acid composition in the presence of an acidic catalyst at a temperature ranging from about 90° C. to about 105° C., to form the phenolic fatty acid compound, wherein the amount of phenolic ester is less than 5%, and wherein the phenolic fatty acid compound is [9,10]-(hydroxyphenol)-octadecanoic acid.
