Description

Calcium (Z)-Hexadec-9-Enoate is the calcium salt of palmitoleic acid, a monounsaturated ω-7 fatty acid. This compound is valued for its role as a stable, bioavailable source of palmitoleate, which is crucial in various biochemical and industrial processes. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries for formulating dietary supplements, skincare products, and specialized lipid-based delivery systems.

Application

• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Used as a key ingredient in ω-7 fatty acid supplements for supporting metabolic and cardiovascular health.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Incorporated into moisturizers, serums, and anti-aging creams for its skin-barrier enhancing and emollient properties.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a precursor or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in lipid-based drug formulations and controlled-release systems.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized as a standard or reagent in lipidomics research, cell culture studies, and metabolic pathway analysis.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Applied for the nutritional fortification of foods and beverages with stable fatty acid components.
• Industrial Lubricants & Additives: Acts as a bio-based component or intermediate in the synthesis of specialty lubricants and surfactants.

Quality Control

Our Calcium (Z)-Hexadec-9-Enoate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, heavy metals, and microbiological limits are available upon request. We adhere to relevant cGMP and ISO 9001 standards to guarantee product integrity for our global B2B clients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under dry conditions to prevent caking or degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents.
