Description

Linolenelaidic Acid Methyl Ester is a high-purity methyl ester derivative of linolenelaidic acid, a trans-isomer of linolenic acid. This compound serves as a critical reference standard and synthetic intermediate for research and industrial applications where defined fatty acid profiles are essential. It is particularly valuable for pharmaceutical research, lipidomics, and the production of specialty chemicals in sectors demanding precise chemical structures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical & Biomedical Research: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) and analytical standard for studying lipid metabolism, membrane biochemistry, and the biological effects of trans-fatty acids.
• Analytical Chemistry: Serves as a critical standard in Gas Chromatography (GC) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for the identification and quantification of complex fatty acid mixtures.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a key building block or intermediate in the synthesis of advanced surfactants, lubricant additives, and polymer precursors.
• Nutritional Science: Employed in research focused on the analysis and impact of specific trans-fatty acid isomers in food products and dietary studies.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care R&D: Utilized in the formulation and testing of lipid-based ingredients for skincare and cosmetic products.
