Description

Palmitelaidic Acid is a trans-isomer of palmitoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid with significant industrial and research utility. Its distinct trans-configuration makes it a valuable reference standard and a key intermediate in the synthesis of specialized lipids and oleochemicals. This high-purity compound is essential for researchers in lipidomics, analytical laboratories requiring precise calibration, and manufacturers developing advanced surfactants, lubricants, and cosmetic ingredients.

Application

• Biochemical & Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a critical reference standard and analytical reagent in lipid metabolism studies, membrane biophysics, and metabolic pathway analysis.
• Analytical Chemistry: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to identify and quantify fatty acid isomers in complex matrices.
• Oleochemical Synthesis: Acts as a key building block for synthesizing specialized esters, surfactants, and lubricant additives with tailored physical properties.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Employed in the development of high-end emollients, moisturizers, and skin barrier-enhancing formulations.
• Nutritional Science: Utilized in studies investigating the effects of specific trans-fatty acid isomers on health and metabolism.
• Material Science: Investigated as a monomer or modifier in the production of bio-based polymers and functional materials.
