Description

1-Myristoyl-3-Docosanoyl-Rac-Glycerol is a synthetic, asymmetrical triglyceride composed of myristic (C14:0) and behenic (C22:0) fatty acids esterified to a glycerol backbone. This specific lipid structure is engineered to provide unique melting and crystallization properties, making it a valuable functional ingredient. It is primarily utilized in advanced material science and high-performance personal care formulations where precise physical characteristics are critical. The compound is supplied under strict quality control to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for industrial applications.

Application

• As a structuring agent and texture modifier in high-end cosmetics, skincare creams, and solid stick formulations (e.g., deodorants, lip balms).
• As a model compound in lipidomics research and for studying the metabolism of complex triglycerides.
• As a base material for synthesizing more complex lipid derivatives and specialty esters in fine chemical production.
• As a component in the development of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and other advanced drug delivery systems.
• As a standard or reference material for analytical testing and quality control in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
• In the formulation of specialty lubricants and release agents for specific industrial processes.
