Product Information

• Name: Triolein
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Triolein is a triacylglycerol that is present in fats and oils. It has been used as an experimental model for studying enzyme activities, model systems, cellular physiology, biochemical composition, and reaction mechanisms. Triolein has also been used as a model for studying water vapor absorption and wastewater treatment. The reaction mechanism of triolein is not well understood but it may involve the transfer of hydrogen atoms from the glycerol molecule to the fatty acid chains or the formation of esters from glycerol and fatty acids. Caproic acid can be found in triolein samples with high levels of unsaturation.
