Description

Rac-1-Linoleoyl-2,3-Dilinolenoylglycerol is a structured triacylglycerol (TAG) composed of linoleic and linolenic acid moieties. This specific lipid structure is of significant interest for research into lipid metabolism, membrane biophysics, and as a high-purity standard for analytical chemistry. It serves as a critical reagent for scientists and product developers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and advanced food science industries who require well-defined lipid molecules for their work.

Application

• Biochemical & Nutritional Research: Used as a reference standard and substrate in studies of lipid digestion, absorption, and metabolic pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Employed in the formulation and testing of lipid-based drug delivery systems (e.g., liposomes, nanoemulsions).
• Analytical Chemistry: Serves as a high-purity calibration standard for chromatographic techniques (HPLC, GC) and mass spectrometry in lipidomics.
• Nutraceutical R&D: Investigated for its potential bioactive properties and as a component in structured lipid design for functional foods.
• Cosmetic Science: Evaluated as a specialty emollient or active ingredient in advanced skincare formulations targeting skin barrier function.
• Academic Research: A key material for fundamental studies in organic synthesis, lipid chemistry, and plant oil biochemistry.

Quality Control

Our Rac-1-Linoleoyl-2,3-Dilinolenoylglycerol is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as purity (by HPLC), fatty acid profile, and related substance analysis are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance processes.

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 container to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake.
