Description

Glycerol tripalmitate is a triglyceride that is composed of three molecules of glycerol and one molecule of palmitic acid. It is used in the manufacture of sephadex g-100, a chromatographic material that separates proteins based on their size. Glycerol tripalmitate has been shown to have high chemical stability, which is important for its use as a pharmaceutical excipient. This substance also has a physiological function in the human body, including the production of lipids, such as fatty acids and triglycerides. Glycerol tripalmitate can be used to study phase transition temperature by using surface methodology. Carbonyl oxygens are present on the surface of this substance, which may have neurotrophic effects.
