Methyl linoleate, 95%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

The oxidation of methyl linoleate in organic solution and phosphatidylcholine (PC) in liposomal membranes induced by an azo initiator has often been used as a model for lipid peroxidation. Methyl linoleate may be used as a model compound in oxidation/peroxidation assays to evaluate the anti-peroxidation activity of fullerenes, ellagitannins and other natural products.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
