Description

Rac 1-Oleoyl-2,3-Dipalmitoyl Glycerol is a synthetic, high-purity mixed triacylglycerol (TAG) with a defined fatty acid composition. This structured lipid is critical for research and development in advanced lipid science, offering a precise molecular standard for analytical and formulation work. It is primarily utilized by scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring controlled lipid matrices.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient & Drug Delivery: Used as a lipid matrix or carrier in solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), nanoemulsions, and sustained-release formulations.
• Biochemical & Nutritional Research: Serves as a critical reference standard and substrate for studying lipase activity, lipid metabolism, and fat digestion.
• Synthetic Lipid Intermediate: Acts as a key building block for the synthesis of more complex, structured lipids and phospholipids with tailored properties.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Employed as an emollient and texture-enhancing agent in high-end skincare products for its specific melting profile and skin feel.
• Analytical Chemistry Standard: Essential for calibrating instruments (e.g., HPLC, GC) and validating methods in lipid analysis and quality control laboratories.
• Food Science Research: Used in model systems to study fat crystallization, bloom formation in confectionery, and the physical properties of food fats.
