Description

1,2,3-Tri[trans-6-Octadecenoyl]Glycerol is a structured triglyceride where glycerol is fully esterified with three trans-6-octadecenoic acid moieties. This specific molecular architecture is significant for research and development in lipid science, offering a defined model compound for studying the physical and metabolic properties of trans-unsaturated fats. It serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard for analytical laboratories, pharmaceutical developers, and specialty chemical manufacturers focused on advanced lipid formulations.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a high-purity reference standard and substrate in enzymatic studies, particularly for lipases and esterases.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Acts as a key intermediate or model compound in the synthesis of specialized lipid-based drug delivery systems (e.g., liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles).
• Analytical Chemistry: Serves as a critical calibration standard for chromatographic methods (HPLC, GC) used in the analysis of complex lipid mixtures and trans-fatty acid content.
• Nutraceutical & Cosmetic R&D: Investigated for its potential role in structuring agents or as a component in advanced skincare and nutritional supplement formulations.
• Food Science Research: Employed as a defined compound to study the crystallization behavior, stability, and nutritional impact of specific triglyceride structures.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Utilized as a building block for the production of more complex, functionalized lipids and surfactants.

Quality Control

Our 1,2,3-Tri[trans-6-Octadecenoyl]Glycerol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as purity, identity, and specific tests.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). For long-term stability, storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) is recommended to prevent oxidation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
