1,3-Dioleoyl-2-lauroyl glycerol is a triacylglycerol that contains oleic acid at the
sn-1 and
sn-3 positions and lauric acid at the
sn-2 position. It has been found in human milk, butterfat, and palm kernel oil.
1,2,3
1,3-Dioleoyl-2-lauroyl glycerol (1,3-Olein-2-laurin), a compound in the triglyceride composition of human milk, was identified and quantified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and a targeted analytical approach was developed.
