Glyceryl trioleate, a triester of glycerol and oleic acid, is utilized in research for its role as a model lipid. In the study of lipid metabolism, it is an important compound for understanding the enzymatic processes of lipases, which are for the breakdown and synthesis of fatty acids and glycerol in living organisms. Material scientists investigate glyceryl trioleate for its lubricative properties, which can inform the development of bio-based lubricants. Additionally, glyceryl trioleate is utilized in the development of lipid-based chemical delivery systems due to its biocompatibility and ability to form stable structures like liposomes, which are key for encapsulating and transporting compounds. It also plays a role in bioenergy research, particularly in the optimization of biodiesel production, due to its relevance as a feedstock in transesterification reactions.
