Description

1,3-Dipalmitoyl-2-Octanoyl Glycerol is a structured triglyceride (TAG) with a specific fatty acid composition at the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions of the glycerol backbone. This precise molecular architecture is critical for applications requiring controlled lipid digestion, absorption, and crystallization behavior. It serves as a key intermediate and functional ingredient for advanced research and product development in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors, where lipid functionality is paramount.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a lipid matrix in the formulation of lipid-based drug delivery systems (LBDDS), including self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), to enhance the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Nutraceutical Ingredient: Serves as a structured lipid in specialized medical nutrition and dietary supplements, designed to provide specific metabolic or energy-release profiles.
• Biochemical Research: Acts as a standard or substrate in lipid metabolism studies, enzymatic assays (e.g., lipase activity), and analytical method development for triglyceride analysis.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Employed as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in high-end cosmetic products, contributing to texture and stability.
• Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity chromatographic standard for the identification and quantification of triglycerides in complex lipid mixtures via techniques like HPLC and GC.

Quality Control

Our 1,3-Dipalmitoyl-2-Octanoyl Glycerol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assessment and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term storage, keep under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
