Description

L-α-Palmitin is a high-purity monoglyceride, specifically the 1-monopalmitin isomer, which serves as a critical intermediate and functional ingredient in advanced chemical synthesis and product formulation. Its defined structure and purity make it essential for applications requiring precise molecular control and consistent performance. This product is particularly valuable for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable, high-quality lipid components.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifying agent in topical creams, ointments, and controlled-release drug delivery systems.

• Cosmetic Formulations: Acts as a skin-conditioning agent, emollient, and stabilizer in lotions, moisturizers, and makeup products.

• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or substrate in enzymatic studies, particularly for lipases and phospholipases, and in metabolic pathway analysis.

• Food Grade Emulsifier: Functions as a food additive (E471) in certain edible oil and fat blends, though specific food-grade certification is required.

• Chemical Synthesis: A key chiral building block for the synthesis of more complex lipids, glycolipids, and phospholipids in laboratory and industrial settings.
