Application

Methyl linoleate USP Reference standard, intended for use in specified quality tests and assays as specified in the USP compendia. Also, for use with USP monographs such as:
  • Evening Primrose Oil Capsules
  • Borage Seed Oil Capsules
  • Flax Seed Oil Capsules
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 in vivo .
