Used primarily as a research standard in lipidomics and metabolic studies, this mixed-acid triglyceride helps in analyzing lipid profiles and understanding lipid metabolism. It serves as a reference compound in mass spectrometry and chromatography for identifying triacylglycerols in biological samples. Due to its specific fatty acid composition, it aids in studying the behavior of unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats in cellular processes, lipoprotein assembly, and energy storage mechanisms. It is also utilized in formulating model lipid systems to investigate membrane dynamics and lipid-protein interactions.
