Description

1,2,3-Tri[cis-9-Hexadecenoyl]Glycerol is a structured triglyceride where all three hydroxyl groups of glycerol are esterified with palmitoleic acid. This specific molecular configuration is of significant interest in lipid research and specialty chemical synthesis due to its defined structure and purity. It serves as a critical standard, intermediate, or active component for industries requiring high-purity, well-characterized lipid compounds.

Application

• Biochemical Research & Standard: Used as a high-purity reference standard in lipidomics, metabolic studies, and analytical method development.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a key building block for synthesizing more complex lipid-based drug delivery systems or prodrugs.
• Nutraceutical Development: Investigated for use in specialized nutritional formulations and structured lipids with targeted metabolic effects.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Serves as an emollient or functional ingredient in high-end skincare products due to its specific fatty acid profile.
• Industrial Lubricants & Additives: Potential use as a bio-based component or intermediate in specialty lubricants and surfactants.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Essential for studying triglyceride chemistry, enzyme specificity (e.g., lipases), and material science applications.
