Description

Petroselaidic Acid Ethyl Ester is the ethyl ester derivative of petroselaidic acid, a trans-isomer of oleic acid. This high-purity fatty acid ester serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard in advanced chemical synthesis and analytical research. It is primarily utilized by the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries for developing lipid-based formulations and studying fatty acid metabolism.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of specialized lipid-based drug delivery systems and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a critical reference standard and substrate in lipidomics, metabolic pathway studies, and enzyme activity assays.
• Nutraceutical Development: Employed in the formulation of advanced dietary supplements and functional food ingredients targeting specific lipid profiles.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a versatile building block for producing surfactants, emulsifiers, and other specialty esters.
• Analytical Chemistry: Used as a high-purity calibration standard in Gas Chromatography (GC) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for fatty acid analysis.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Incorporated into high-end skincare formulations for its emollient properties and skin barrier support.
