Description

Trielaidin is a specific, saturated triglyceride composed of three elaidic acid units, a trans-isomer of oleic acid. This compound serves as a crucial high-purity reference standard and a model lipid for research and industrial development. It is essential for laboratories and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutritional science, and specialty chemical sectors requiring precise materials for analytical calibration, metabolic studies, and product formulation.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use for calibrating instruments (HPLC, GC) and quantifying elaidic acid content in food, biological, and industrial samples.
• Biochemical Research: Model compound for studying the metabolism, absorption, and health impacts of trans-fatty acids in nutritional and medical research.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient Development: Used in formulation studies for lipid-based drug delivery systems (e.g., solid lipid nanoparticles, liposomes).
• Food Science & Quality Control: Serves as a critical standard for analyzing and monitoring trans-fat levels in oils, fats, and food products to ensure regulatory compliance.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a defined starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex lipids, surfactants, or oleochemicals.
• Educational & Laboratory Reagent: Provides a pure, well-characterized triglyceride for teaching and experimental protocols in chemistry and biochemistry.

Quality Control

Every batch of our Trielaidin is produced and controlled under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical documentation to ensure product integrity for your critical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available for each lot upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature of being easily oxidized, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended for optimal stability.
