Collection: Functional Food Research

Functional Food Research — includes essential fatty acids and their ester derivatives such as oleic, linoleic, linolenic, and arachidonic acids, which are natural lipid components in food ingredients. These compounds serve as reference materials in studies of food lipid composition and function.

This category is used by nutrition and food science researchers as standard material for fatty acid profile analysis using gas chromatography, and as raw material for studies of the biological function of lipids in the formulation of functional food products. Methyl esters such as methyl linoleate and methyl linolenate are commonly used as GC calibration standards for quantifying fatty acids in food samples.

Example products in this collection: TCI S0325 112-63-0 Methyl Linoleate [Standard Material for GC], TCI D2195 84494-72-4 Ethyl cis-4,7,10,13,16,19-Docosahexaenoate, TCI O0180 112-80-1 Oleic Acid, TCI D2226 6217-54-5 cis-4,7,10,13,16,19-Docosahexaenoic Acid, TCI L0050 463-40-1 Linolenic Acid, TCI E0441 10417-94-4 all cis-5,8,11,14,17-Eicosapentaenoic Acid, TCI L0124 60-33-3 Linoleic Acid, TCI H0072 373-49-9 cis-9-Hexadecenoic Acid.

Pay attention to the high purity level required for analytical standards, stability against oxidation due to multiple unsaturated double bonds, and cold, light-protected storage conditions. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
