Methyl tetracosanoate is a long-chain fatty acid methyl ester primarily involved in research areas such as organic chemistry and biofuel development. It is often used as a reference compound in gas chromatography to study the composition of fatty acid mixtures due to its well-defined physical properties. In the study of lipid metabolism, methyl tetracosanoate serves as a substrate to elucidate the mechanisms of lipid biosynthesis and degradation. Furthermore, in the field of renewable energy, it is of interest in the characterization of biodiesel fuels, where its combustion properties and performance parameters are analyzed. Methyl tetracosanoate is also utilized in materials science, for instance, in the investigation of the phase behavior of lipid-based systems which is relevant to the development of novel lipid formulations and delivery systems.
