Description

1-Palmitoyl-2-Oleoyl-3-Linolenoyl-Rac-Glycerol is a structured triglyceride (TAG) composed of specific fatty acids at defined positions on the glycerol backbone. This precise molecular architecture is critical for research and development in lipid science, enabling the study of digestion, absorption, and metabolic pathways. It serves as a high-purity reference standard and a key synthetic intermediate for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced food science applications where lipid functionality is paramount.

Application

• Biomedical Research Standard: Used as a certified reference material for analytical method development and validation in lipidomics and metabolomics studies.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient Development: Investigated as a component in lipid-based drug delivery systems (e.g., self-emulsifying drug delivery systems - SEDDS) to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble APIs.
• Nutritional Science & Infant Formula: Serves as a model compound for researching structured lipids that mimic the fat composition of human breast milk, aiming to improve infant nutrition.
• Biochemical Substrate: Acts as a specific substrate for enzymatic studies, particularly for lipases and phospholipases, to understand reaction kinetics and regioselectivity.
• Cosmetic & Dermatological Formulations: Employed in high-end skincare products as an emollient and skin-identical lipid to support skin barrier function and delivery of active ingredients.
• Synthetic Lipid Chemistry: A crucial building block for the chemical or enzymatic synthesis of more complex lipids, phospholipids, and glycolipids for specialized applications.

Quality Control

Our 1-Palmitoyl-2-Oleoyl-3-Linolenoyl-Rac-Glycerol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization using techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR to confirm identity, positional purity, and chemical purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or GMP-grade requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to minimize oxidation. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation and moisture ingress.
