Description

Trilinolenin is a high-purity triglyceride composed exclusively of three linolenic acid moieties. This specific molecular structure makes it a valuable reference standard and a critical raw material for advanced lipid research and synthesis. It is essential for scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries who require defined lipid compounds for analytical, developmental, and production purposes.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used for the identification, purity assessment, and quantification of complex lipid mixtures in chromatography (HPLC, GC) and mass spectrometry.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a substrate or model compound in studies of lipid metabolism, enzyme kinetics (e.g., lipases), and membrane biophysics.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a key building block in the synthesis of specialized lipid-based drug delivery systems, such as liposomes and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs).
• Nutraceutical Formulation: Employed in the development of high-purity dietary supplements targeting essential fatty acid supplementation.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Used in premium skincare formulations for its emollient properties and as a source of specific fatty acids.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: A precursor for producing modified triglycerides, esters, and other derivatives with tailored properties for industrial applications.

Quality Control

Every batch of Trilinolenin is manufactured and tested under strict quality management systems to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive analytical documentation, including a Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity by HPLC, identity confirmation by IR and NMR, and limits for key impurities. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring GMP-grade materials and reliable supply for research and production.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation. For long-term storage, keep the product at -20°C or below. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
