Description
Punicic acid (CAS 544-72-9 ), also known as trichosanic acid, is a conjugated fatty acid naturally concentrated in pomegranate seed oil, where it typically constitutes the dominant lipid fraction. It is sourced by formulators and ingredient buyers primarily as a bioactive lipid for use in functional food, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications. In cosmetic formulations, pomegranate seed oil is highly valued. Standardized oil is incorporated into facial serums, anti-aging creams, and skin-repair products targeting oxidative stress at the formulation level. Nutraceutical manufacturers use it as a conjugated fatty acid ingredient. It is commonly found in softgel capsules and functional oils positioned within omega-5 or conjugated linolenic acid product lines. Food and supplement brands source it as part of cold-pressed pomegranate oil. This is ideal for inclusion in specialty nutrition products where conjugated fatty acid content is a label claim. Pharmaceutical researchers also evaluate it as a reference material or active ingredient. It is often used in lipid-based delivery systems. Punicic acid is commercially available primarily as pomegranate seed oil with standardized content, typically ranging from 65–80%, supplied in liquid form. Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are the most commonly traded. Bulk supply is generally offered in drums or smaller quantities for R&D and specialty formulation use in various industries.
