Description

1-Palmitoyl-2-Oleoyl-3-Linoleoyl-Rac-Glycerol is a structured triglyceride (TAG) composed of palmitic, oleic, and linoleic acids esterified to a glycerol backbone. This specific fatty acid profile makes it a valuable and versatile biochemical intermediate for research and industrial synthesis. It is primarily sought by manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries for developing lipid-based delivery systems and functional ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a lipid matrix component in the formulation of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) for drug delivery.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a critical standard and substrate in lipid metabolism studies, enzyme assays (e.g., lipases), and analytical method development.
• Nutraceutical Ingredient: Acts as a structured lipid in specialized nutritional formulations and dietary supplements designed for targeted metabolic effects.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Employed as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in high-end cosmetic and dermatological products.
• Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a key intermediate for the synthesis of more complex lipids, phospholipids, and other glycerol derivatives.
