Description

(+/-)-1,2-Didecanoylglycerol CAS NO 33774-66-2 is a synthetic glyceride derivative, specifically a diester of glycerol and decanoic acid. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and functional ingredient in advanced chemical synthesis and formulation. It is primarily utilized by industries requiring specialty surfactants, emulsifiers, or lipid-based building blocks for research and product development.

Application

• Lipid Research & Biochemical Studies: Used as a model compound or synthetic intermediate in the study of lipid metabolism, membrane biophysics, and enzyme (e.g., lipase) activity.
• Specialty Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: Acts as a key precursor for manufacturing non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers with specific hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) properties.
• Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Excipients: Employed in the development of lipid-based drug delivery systems (e.g., nanoemulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles) and as an emollient or conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a building block in organic synthesis for creating more complex glycerol esters, phospholipid analogs, or other functionalized lipids.
• Food Science & Additive Research: Investigated for its potential as a food-grade emulsifier or as a component in structured lipid systems.
