Description

1-Oleoyl-2-Palmitoyl-3-Linoleoyl-Rac-Glycerol is a structured triglyceride (TAG) composed of oleic, palmitic, and linoleic fatty acids esterified to a glycerol backbone. This specific fatty acid profile makes it a valuable synthetic standard and a key intermediate for research and development in lipid science. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring precise lipid composition. Its role is critical in studying lipid metabolism, developing lipid-based drug delivery systems, and formulating specialized nutritional products.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Used as a reference standard in analytical methods (HPLC, GC) for lipid profiling and as a model compound for studying triglyceride metabolism and absorption.
• Lipid-Based Drug Delivery Systems: Serves as a critical excipient or model lipid in the formulation of emulsions, microemulsions, and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) for enhanced drug solubility and bioavailability.
• Nutraceutical & Specialty Nutrition: Employed as a structured lipid intermediate in the development of specialized nutritional oils and supplements designed for targeted metabolic effects.
• Biochemical Research: Acts as a substrate or standard in enzymatic studies involving lipases, phospholipases, and other lipid-modifying enzymes.
• Cosmetic Science: Used in R&D for formulating high-end skincare products where specific triglyceride blends are required for texture and skin barrier function.
• Food Science Research: Applied as an analytical standard to quantify and qualify triglyceride species in complex food matrices like oils and fats.

Quality Control

Every batch of 1-Oleoyl-2-Palmitoyl-3-Linoleoyl-Rac-Glycerol is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) that detail purity, identity, and impurity profiles to ensure consistency and reliability for your research and production needs. Our quality systems are designed to support compliance with cGMP and ISO standards where required.

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 minimize oxidation. Allow the product to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent moisture condensation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
