Description

Glycerol Tridocosahexaenoyl CAS NO 124596-98-1 is a highly unsaturated triglyceride where all three fatty acid chains are composed of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). This compound is of significant interest for its potential role as a concentrated, structured lipid carrier of ω-3 fatty acids. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and advanced food ingredient sectors for research, formulation, and product development.

Application

• Nutraceutical Formulations: As a high-potency, structured lipid for dietary supplements targeting cognitive and cardiovascular health.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used in the development of drug delivery systems and as a reference standard in lipidomics and metabolic studies.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: An ingredient for enriching foods and infant formulas with a highly bioavailable form of DHA.
• Biochemical Research: A critical reagent for studying lipid metabolism, membrane biophysics, and signaling pathways involving polyunsaturated fatty acids.
• Cosmeceuticals: Investigated for use in topical formulations for skin health due to the anti-inflammatory properties of DHA.

Quality Control

Our Glycerol Tridocosahexaenoyl is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is analyzed to ensure high purity and consistency, with a focus on peroxide value and fatty acid profile integrity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay, identity, and impurity limits are provided. We support compliance with relevant standards for research and development applications.

Storage

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