TRIMYRISTIN Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

WHITE TO LIGHT BEIGE CRYSTALLINE POWDER

Uses

Trimyristin, is the triglyceride of myristic acid, which is found naturally in many vegetable fats and oils. It can be used for the preparation of Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) composed of trimyristin (solid lipid) and poloxamer 407 (surfactant).

Definition

ChEBI: A triglyceride obtained by formal acylation of the three hydroxy groups of glycerol by myristic (tetradecanoic) acid.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified

Purification Methods

Crystallise it from diethyl ether. [Beilstein 2 IV 1135.]
