Description

1,2-Distearoyl-3-decanoyl-rac-glycerol is a synthetic, well-defined triacylglycerol (TAG) with a specific fatty acid composition. This structured lipid is significant for research and development in lipid science, offering a precise model compound for studying crystallization behavior, polymorphism, and metabolic pathways. It is primarily needed by manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries for applications ranging from drug delivery systems to advanced material science.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a matrix-forming agent or lipid component in solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and other controlled-release drug delivery systems.
• Nutraceutical Research: Serves as a structured lipid model for investigating fat digestion, absorption, and metabolism in nutritional studies.
• Reference Standard: Acts as a high-purity analytical standard for chromatography (HPLC, GC) to identify and quantify similar lipid species in complex mixtures.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in enzymatic studies, particularly with lipases, to understand substrate specificity and reaction kinetics.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Can be utilized as an emollient or texture modifier in high-end skincare products due to its specific melting profile.
• Material Science: Investigated for its thermal and crystallization properties in the development of specialty fats and oleogels.
