Product Information

• Name: Triolein - Technical grade (mixture with monoester and diester)
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Triolein is a mixture of the monoester, diester and technical grade. It is a model system for studying the biochemical composition of triacylglycerols. Triolein has been shown to inhibit tumor growth in mice by binding to basic proteins. This effect was observed using caproic acid as a control. The contents of triolein were analyzed by chromatography and gas-liquid chromatography. This analysis showed that triolein is composed of approximately 50% caprylic acid, and about 40% each of oleic acid and linoleic acid. The analytical method used was p-nitrophenyl phosphate spectrophotometry, which can be used to measure the amount of fatty acids in triolein. Triolein has also been found to have a beneficial effect on wastewater treatment, where it can be used instead of phosphoric acid to remove water vapor from wastewater without removing other substances such as ammonia or sulfur dioxide.
