Description

1,2-Didocosahexaenoyl-3-Palmitoyl Glycerol is a structured triglyceride featuring two docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) residues and one palmitic acid residue, offering a unique fatty acid profile. This molecular configuration is of significant interest for its potential to deliver targeted nutritional and functional benefits in advanced formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and high-end food ingredient sectors for research and product development.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Investigated as a specialized lipid carrier for enhancing the bioavailability and targeted delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Nutraceutical Formulations: Used as a premium source of structured DHA in dietary supplements aimed at cognitive and neurological health support.
• Infant Formula: A potential high-value ingredient to mimic the complex lipid structures found in human breast milk for advanced nutritional products.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a critical standard or substrate in lipidomics research, metabolic studies, and enzymatic assays.
• Functional Food & Beverages: Incorporated into fortified foods and drinks designed to deliver specific health benefits through structured lipids.
• Cosmeceuticals: Explored in high-end skincare formulations for its potential skin-barrier reinforcing and anti-inflammatory properties.

Quality Control

Our 1,2-Didocosahexaenoyl-3-Palmitoyl Glycerol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and fatty acid profile verification, to ensure consistency and meet research-grade specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and relevant impurities is provided with every shipment.

Storage

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