Description

1,2-Dihexadecanoyl-3-Tetradecanoyl-Rac-Glycerol is a synthetic, high-purity triacylglycerol (TAG) with a defined fatty acid composition. This structured lipid is critical for research and development where precise molecular architecture and consistent composition are required to ensure reliable experimental and product outcomes. It serves as a valuable standard and functional ingredient for scientists and formulators in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and advanced materials sectors.

Application

• Biomedical Research Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for lipidomics studies, metabolic pathway analysis, and calibration of analytical instruments like HPLC and mass spectrometry.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient Development: Acts as a model compound for studying lipid-based drug delivery systems, including solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS).
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulation: Serves as a structured emollient and texture enhancer in high-end skincare products, providing specific melting behavior and skin feel.
• Biochemical Substrate: Employed as a specific substrate for enzymatic studies, particularly for lipases and phospholipases, to investigate activity and inhibition.
• Advanced Material Science: Utilized in the synthesis of specialized surfactants, lubricants, and biodegradable polymers where a defined fatty acid chain length is crucial.
• Nutritional Science Research: Functions as a well-defined lipid source in studies investigating fat absorption, metabolism, and the effects of specific TAG structures.
