General description

Glyceryl tripalmitate is a simple saturated glyceride. It is a solid present majorly in palm and coconut oil. It constitutes 1-11% of palm oil and has high melting temperature.

Application

Glyceryl tripalmitate has been used as a reference standard
  • for the generation of calibration curve generation for the quantification of lipids from Azospirillum brasilense
  • for the quantification of silk worm embryos and extraembryonic yolk lipids using thin layer chromatography
  • for the quantification of triacylglycerol in Neochloris minuta microalgal cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glyceryl tripalmitate is a carrier molecule for effective drug delivery and is used solid lipid nanoparticle formulations.
