Description

1,3-Dibutyryl-2-Oleoyl Glycerol is a structured triglyceride (TAG) where butyric acid is esterified at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions and oleic acid at the sn-2 position. This specific molecular architecture is significant for its unique metabolic and functional properties compared to randomized fats. It is primarily utilized in advanced research and development within the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, particularly for studying lipid metabolism, developing specialized nutritional formulations, and as a potential bioactive ingredient.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a reference standard or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in metabolic studies and drug delivery system development.
• Nutraceutical Development: Serves as a key component in structured lipid formulations designed for specialized medical nutrition and dietary supplements.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a substrate or model compound in enzymology studies, particularly for investigating lipase specificity and triglyceride metabolism.
• Cosmetic Science: Potential use as a high-value emollient or skin-conditioning agent in premium cosmetic and personal care products.
• Food Science Research: Applied in the study of novel fat systems, fat replacers, and the nutritional impact of specific triglyceride structures.
