Description

9,11,13-Octadecatrienoic Acid, Methyl Ester, (9Z,11E,13Z)- is a conjugated trienoic fatty acid methyl ester, a key derivative of punicic acid. This compound is valued for its unique conjugated double-bond system, which imparts significant chemical reactivity and biological activity. It serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard for researchers and manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical industries.

Application

• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplement Research: As a primary derivative of punicic acid from pomegranate seed oil, it is used in the development and standardization of health supplements targeting metabolic and inflammatory pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Acts as a key synthetic building block for the production of specialized prostaglandin analogs and other bioactive lipid molecules.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a high-purity reference standard in lipidomics, metabolic studies, and for calibrating analytical instruments like HPLC and GC-MS.
• Cosmeceutical Formulations: Investigated for its potential antioxidant properties in advanced skincare and anti-aging product development.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Used in the R&D of enriched food products aimed at delivering specific fatty acid benefits.
• Industrial Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing specialty surfactants, lubricants, and polymer modifiers due to its reactive triene structure.
