UNSATURATED SERIES

Straight chain fatty acids, mono basic, aliphatic, terminating in a single carboxyl group and of reduced hydrogen content than their saturated counterparts, constitute the ethylenic family of unsaturated fatty acids. They are of considerable importance since linkage with other chemical radicals is readily accomplished at the double bond positions. Multiple unsaturation is found in almost all natural occurring vegetable and animal fats. Research in recent years has shown them to be of great significance.
Double bonds are susceptible to oxidation so that stability is a factor to be reckoned with (especially polyunsaturated compounds) when researching unsaturated fatty acids or their corresponding esters.
Highly purified unsaturated compounds prepared in our laboratory are always flushed several times with nitrogen, sealed in glass under vacuum and stored under cold conditions until ready for shipment.
Nu-Chek suggests that when your shipment is received, they should be stored under cold conditions until ready for use. Once vial is opened protect with N2 and use as soon as possible.



NU-CHEK ALSO PRODUCES AN UNSATURATED SERIES OF FATTY ACIDS AND ESTER HOMOLOGS. AS SEEN BELOW, NU-CHEK PREPARES MANY OMEGA 3 AND OMEGA 6 POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS. BELOW ARE A FEW OF NU-CHEK'S CORE PRODUCTS, ARACHIDONIC ACID, EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID, DOCOSAPENTAENOIC ACID, AND DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID. ALL ARE >99% BY GC AND TLC ANALYSIS.

GLYCERIDES
The distribution of random fatty acids in naturally occurring fats and oils in the form of triglycerides dates back to antiquity.
Indeed, the use of soap-cosmetics and oil lubricants dates back thousands of years. While we at Nu-Chek do not profess to go back quite that far, we would like to say that we have been synthesizing pure gylceride standards for the scientific community for over thirty years.
The general procedure for all our triglyceride preparations is well exemplified in Nu-Chek's Triolein. Our starting material is chromatographically pure Methyl Oleate (isolated from the best virgin olive oil available) which is interesterified for the production of crude Triolein. To assure geometric stability of cis double bonds, the material is further purified by such physical techniques as low temperature crystallization and column chromatography. The final purity is followed both by gas liquid and thin layer chromatography.
Other triglycerides are prepared in a similar manner commencing with the particular oil which contains the best concentrates of the specific ester required.
