MONOCAPRIN Usage And Synthesis

Uses

1-Decanoyl-rac-glycerol is a monoacylglyecrol with antibacterial activity. Studies show that 1-Decanoyl-rac-glycerol maybe potential apoptotic agents in T-cells.

Uses

1-Decanoyl-rac-glycerol may be used as an analytical standard in determining the purity of the analyte synthesized from camphor tree seed kernel oil and glycerol using the lipase from porcine pancreas as a catalyst by gas chromatography technique.

Definition

ChEBI: 1-monodecanoylglycerol is a 1-monoglyceride that has decanoyl (capryl) as the acyl group. It is a 1-monoglyceride and a monodecanoylglycerol.

General Description

1-Decanoyl-rac-glycerol is a food additive, widely used as a functional emulsifier in food industry. It exhibits a broad-spectrum of activity against a variety of food-borne bacteria, fungi and viruses.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Monocaprin (glycerol monocaprate) is used in the development of antimicrobial disinfectants active against enveloped viruses, and certain yeast and bacteria such as candida albicans and campylobacter.
