CAS 555-44-2: Tripalmitin
Description:Tripalmitin, also known as glyceryl tripalmitate, is a triglyceride composed of glycerol and three palmitic acid molecules. It is a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and ether. Tripalmitin is commonly found in palm oil and is used in various applications, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Its melting point is relatively high compared to other triglycerides, which contributes to its stability and texture in formulations. In the body, tripalmitin serves as a source of energy and is metabolized into free fatty acids and glycerol. Additionally, it is utilized in the production of biodiesel and as an emulsifier in food products. Due to its fatty acid composition, tripalmitin can influence the physical properties of fats and oils, making it an important substance in both industrial and nutritional contexts. Its CAS number, 555-44-2, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory frameworks.
