1-Stearoyl-2-Lauroyl-rac-glycerol

Description:

1-Stearoyl-2-Lauroyl-rac-glycerol, with the CAS number 199274-84-5, is a glycerolipid that features a glycerol backbone esterified with two fatty acid chains: stearic acid (C18) and lauric acid (C12). This compound is classified as a monoacylglycerol due to the presence of one glycerol molecule with two acyl groups. It is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform, but has limited solubility in water. The presence of long-chain fatty acids contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, making it useful in various applications, including food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, where it can act as an emulsifier or stabilizer. Additionally, its unique structure allows it to participate in lipid bilayer formation and influence membrane properties, making it of interest in biochemistry and cell biology. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
