Used primarily in lipid research and pharmaceutical formulations as a model triglyceride to study lipid metabolism and lipase enzyme activity. Commonly employed in the development of lipid-based drug delivery systems, including emulsions and liposomes, due to its natural metabolizable structure. Also utilized in nutritional studies to investigate the absorption and processing of mixed-acid glycerides in the human digestive system. Found in some cosmetic formulations as an emollient and skin-replenishing agent, mimicking natural skin lipids for improved barrier function.
