Description

Monopalmitolein is a monoglyceride derived from palmitoleic acid, a key monounsaturated fatty acid. This high-purity lipid intermediate is valued for its role as a versatile building block in advanced chemical synthesis and formulation. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries seeking to develop innovative lipid-based delivery systems and functional ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a lipid component in the development of self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) and lipid nanoparticles for enhanced bioavailability.
• Nutraceutical Formulations: Serves as a precursor or emulsifier in specialized dietary supplements and functional food products.
• Biochemical Research: Acts as a standard or substrate in lipid metabolism studies, enzyme assays, and metabolic pathway research.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Employed in the synthesis of high-end emulsifiers and skin-conditioning agents for premium personal care products.
• Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a key intermediate for the production of more complex glycerides, esters, and other specialty surfactants.

Quality Control

Our Monopalmitolein is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by FT-IR, purity assessment by HPLC, and specific tests for related substances and residual solvents. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments to ensure compliance with your specific application requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
