Description

1,2-Didecanoyl-3-Stearoyl-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 advanced material science and life sciences, offering a precise molecular platform. It is primarily needed by scientists and formulators in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring controlled lipid matrices.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient & Drug Delivery: Used as a lipid matrix component in the development of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) for enhanced drug solubility and controlled release.
• Biochemical & Nutritional Research: Serves as a defined standard or substrate in studies of lipid metabolism, enzyme kinetics (e.g., lipase activity), and the synthesis of structured lipids for nutritional applications.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as an emollient and texture-enhancing agent in high-performance skincare products, providing specific melting behavior and skin feel.
• Reference Standard & Analytical Chemistry: Employed as a high-purity chromatographic standard (e.g., in HPLC, GC) for the identification and quantification of complex lipid mixtures.
• Specialty Lubricants & Release Agents: Investigated for use in bio-based lubricants and mold release agents where specific thermal and rheological properties are required.
• Biomimetic Membrane Studies: Utilized in the construction of model lipid bilayers and vesicles to study membrane fluidity, phase behavior, and protein-lipid interactions.
