  • Applications

    Chemical name: Trimyristin; CAS number: 555-45-3. Trimyristin is the glycerol triester of myristic acid, a natural triglyceride. In practical applications, it is used as a lipid component and oil base in cosmetic and personal-care formulations, serving as an emollient and base oil. In lipid analysis and research, trimyristin is commonly used as an analytical reference standard for triglyceride profiling (TLC, GC, HPLC) and as a model lipid for method development. It also serves as a starting material and intermediate for the synthesis of other fatty acid esters and glycerides. Additionally, trimyristin is a natural lipid component present in lipid-rich materials and can be used as a lipid source for formulation studies.
