Description

3-Linoleoyl-2-Oleoyl-Sn-Glycerol is a structured triacylglycerol (TAG) with a specific fatty acid arrangement at the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions of the glycerol backbone. This precise molecular configuration is critical for research and development in advanced lipid science, where the positional distribution of fatty acids dictates functional properties. It serves as a valuable analytical standard and a key intermediate for scientists and manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and specialty food ingredient sectors.

Application

• Biochemical Research Standard: Used as a high-purity reference material for the analysis of complex lipids, lipidomics studies, and metabolic pathway research.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient Development: Investigated for its potential in lipid-based drug delivery systems to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Structured Lipid Synthesis: Acts as a key intermediate or model compound in the enzymatic or chemical synthesis of structured lipids with tailored nutritional and physical properties.
• Nutritional Science: Employed in studies examining the absorption, metabolism, and health effects of specific dietary triglyceride structures.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulation: Evaluated as a functional emollient or skin-conditioning agent in high-end cosmetic products due to its unique lipid profile.
• Food Science Research: Used to study crystallization behavior, oxidative stability, and other physicochemical properties of fats in food model systems.

Quality Control

Every batch of 3-Linoleoyl-2-Oleoyl-Sn-Glycerol is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) that detail purity, identity, and impurity profiles, ensuring traceability and consistency for your critical research and development work. Our quality systems are designed to support applications requiring high-purity biochemical standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. 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. For long-term storage, keep the primary container sealed within a secondary protective barrier.
