Methyl palmitate

General description
Methyl palmitate (MeP) is a high melting point component of biodiesel.[1] It is used in a variety of flavors and fragrances[2] and found abundantly in palm oil-related feedstocks.[3] Methyl palmitate is a fatty acid methyl ester, which shows potential anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effects by preventing bleomycin-induced lung inflammation and inhibiting the nuclear factor kappa-β pathway(NF-κB).[4] Application
Methyl palmitate may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in biodiesel samples[5][6] using chromatography techniques.
