Series of triglycerides, which are esters derived from glycerol and three fatty acids.

  1. Tricaprylin:
    • Composed of glycerol and three caprylic acid (C8:0) molecules.
    • Found in coconut oil and palm kernel oil.
    • Used in cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals for its quick energy release.
  2. Tricaprin:
    • Made from glycerol and three capric acid (C10:0) molecules.
    • Occurs naturally in coconut oil and goat milk.
    • Utilized for energy supplementation and in lipid-based formulations.
  3. Trilaurin:
    • Formed by glycerol and three lauric acid (C12:0) molecules.
    • Present in coconut and palm kernel oils.
    • Known for its antimicrobial properties and use in soaps and cosmetics.
  4. Trimyristin:
    • Consists of glycerol and three myristic acid (C14:0) molecules.
    • Major component of nutmeg butter.
    • Employed in the production of surfactants and as a fat source in food.
  5. Tripalmitin:
    • Made up of glycerol and three palmitic acid (C16:0) molecules.
    • Found in palm oil, cocoa butter, and animal fats.
    • Used in food processing, cosmetics, and as a model lipid in research.

Tricaprylin, Tricaprin, Trimyristin, Trilaurin, Tripalmitin can be retained, and analyzed using a Lipak mixed-mode stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an gradient method with a mobile phase consisting of methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH), ammonium formate and formic acid as a buffer. Detection is achieved using LC_MS.
