Description

1-Myristoyl-3-Elaidoyl-Rac-Glycerol is a structured triacylglycerol (TAG) featuring a specific fatty acid composition at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions. This precise molecular architecture makes it a valuable standard and research-grade biochemical for studying lipid metabolism, digestion, and absorption. It is primarily utilized by researchers and product developers in the life sciences, pharmaceutical, and specialty nutrition sectors. The compound serves as a critical reference material for analytical method development and for investigating the physiological effects of structured lipids.

Application

• Biochemical Research Standard: Used as a high-purity reference compound in lipidomics, metabolomics, and analytical chemistry for instrument calibration and method validation.
• Nutritional Science Studies: Employed in in vitro and in vivo research to model the digestion, absorption, and metabolic fate of specific structured triglycerides.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient Development: Investigated as a potential lipid-based carrier or absorption enhancer in novel drug delivery systems (e.g., self-emulsifying drug delivery systems - SEDDS).
• Specialty Lipid Synthesis: Acts as a key intermediate or model compound for the chemical or enzymatic synthesis of more complex structured lipids with tailored nutritional or functional properties.
• Food Science Research: Used in studies examining the physical properties (e.g., crystallization behavior, melting point) and stability of fats with defined triglyceride compositions.
