Description

Monomyristolein is a monoglyceride derived from myristoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid. This specialty lipid is valued for its role as a versatile intermediate and functional ingredient in advanced chemical synthesis and product formulation. It is particularly relevant for industries focused on high-purity biochemicals, advanced material science, and specialized surfactant systems. Our supply of Monomyristolein CAS NO 56399-71-4 is characterized by consistent quality and reliable availability for global B2B procurement.

Application

• Biochemical Research & Synthesis: Serves as a key intermediate or substrate in enzymatic studies, lipid metabolism research, and the synthesis of more complex glycerides or phospholipids.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Used in the development of lipid-based drug delivery systems, such as self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) and nanoemulsions, to enhance drug solubility and bioavailability.
• Specialty Surfactants & Emulsifiers: Functions as a non-ionic surfactant or co-emulsifier in niche cosmetic, personal care, and industrial formulations requiring specific fatty acid profiles.
• Food Science & Additives: Potential application as an emulsifying agent or texture modifier in food-grade products, subject to compliance and purity specifications.
• Lubricant & Grease Formulation: Acts as a bio-based component or additive in the formulation of specialized lubricants and greases, offering specific friction-modifying properties.
• Material Science Precursor: Utilized as a building block or monomer in polymer chemistry for creating biodegradable or functional polymeric materials.

Quality Control

Our Monomyristolein is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. Quality is verified through analytical methods including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment. We support compliance with relevant standards for research and industrial use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) to minimize oxidation. Keep the container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from heat sources and incompatible materials.
