Description

1,3-Dimyristoyl-2-Oleoyl-Rac-Glycerol is a structured triglyceride (TAG) with a specific fatty acid composition at the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions. This precise molecular architecture is critical for applications requiring controlled lipid digestion, absorption, and crystallization behavior. It serves as a high-value synthetic lipid intermediate and reference standard for research and development in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used in lipid-based drug delivery systems (LBDDS) to enhance the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Nutraceutical Formulation: A key component in structured lipid formulations for specialized medical nutrition and dietary supplements.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a critical reference standard and substrate in lipid metabolism, enzymology (e.g., lipase studies), and analytical method development.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Employed in high-end skincare formulations for its emollient properties and skin barrier support.
• Food Science Research: Used as a model compound to study fat crystallization, polymorphism, and the physical properties of tailored fats.
• Synthetic Intermediate: A building block for the chemical synthesis of more complex lipids, phospholipids, and glycolipids.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards for high-purity biochemicals. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR to confirm identity, purity, and fatty acid composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications are available upon request. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support pharmaceutical and nutraceutical development.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability, as the compound is easily oxidized. For short-term use, it may be stored at 2-8°C. Allow the container to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation and moisture absorption.
