1,3-Dioleoyl-2-Octanoyl-rac-glycerol Usage And Synthesis

Uses

1,3-Dioleoyl-2-octanoyl glycerol (1,3-Olein-2-caprylin) is a triacylglycerol. 1,3-Dioleoyl-2-octanoyl glycerol can be used to characterize the functionality of R. oryzae lipase for regiodistribution analysis of fats containing medium- and short-chain fatty acids[1].
