Description

Rac-1,2-Dimyristoyl-3-Oleoylglycerol is a synthetic, high-purity structured triglyceride (TAG) composed of myristic and oleic acid residues. This specific fatty acid configuration is critical for applications requiring a defined lipid matrix with predictable melting and crystallization behavior. It is an essential intermediate and functional ingredient for advanced research and development in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a lipid matrix component in the formulation of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) for drug delivery.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a well-defined substrate or standard in lipidomics, enzymology (e.g., lipase studies), and metabolic pathway research.
• Nutraceutical Development: Acts as a structured lipid in specialized nutritional formulations and fat-based supplements.
• Reference Standard: Employed as a high-purity analytical standard for chromatography (HPLC, GC) to identify and quantify similar triglycerides in complex mixtures.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Functions as an emollient and texture enhancer in high-end skincare products.
• Chemical Synthesis: Used as a versatile building block for the synthesis of more complex lipids, phospholipids, and other derivatives.

Quality Control

Our Rac-1,2-Dimyristoyl-3-Oleoylglycerol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and formulation use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation. For long-term storage, keep at -20°C. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
