Retinyl palmitate
Retinyl palmitate, also known as vitamin a palmitate or aquasol a, is a member of the class of compounds known as wax monoesters. Wax monoesters are waxes bearing an ester group at exactly one position. Thus, retinyl palmitate is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. Retinyl palmitate is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Retinyl palmitate can be found in a number of food items such as rocket salad (sspecies), black elderberry, common grape, and vaccinium (blueberry, cranberry, huckleberry), which makes retinyl palmitate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Retinyl palmitate can be found primarily in blood, as well as throughout most human tissues. In humans, retinyl palmitate is involved in the retinol metabolism. Retinyl palmitate is also involved in vitamin A deficiency, which is a metabolic disorder. An alternate spelling, retinol palmitate, which violates the -yl organic chemical naming convention for esters, is also frequently seen . Retinyl palmitate, or vitamin A palmitate, is a common vitamin supplement, with formula C36H60O2. It is available in both oral and injectable forms for treatment of vitamin A deficiency, under the brand names Aquasol and Palmitate. Retinyl palmitate is an alternate for retinyl acetate in vitamin A supplements, and is available in oily or dry forms. It is a pre-formed version of vitamin A, and can thus be realistically over-dosed, unlike beta-carotene.

Retinyl palmitate has been widely used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations.
Cetyl palmitate
Ceryl palmitate, also known as hexadecanyl hexadecanoate or hexadecanoic acid, hexadecyl ester, is a member of the class of compounds known as wax monoesters. Wax monoesters are waxes bearing an ester group at exactly one position. Thus, ceryl palmitate is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. Ceryl palmitate is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Ceryl palmitate can be found in loquat and opium poppy, which makes ceryl palmitate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.

Cetyl myristoleate
Cetyl myristoleate is found in cereals and cereal products. Cetyl myristoleate is isolated from rice. Cetyl myristoleate is a food supplement As Diehl got older, he began to experience some osteoarthritis in his hands, knees, and the heels of his feet. His family physician tried the usual regimen of cortisone and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs without much effect on the course of the disease. Finally his physician told Harry he could not have any more cortisone. "So," Diehl said, "I thought about my discovery, and I decided to make a batch and use it on myself. " He did, and the symptoms of osteo-arthritis disappeared. Cetyl myristoleate appeared on the market as a supplement in 1991. Although not as well known as glucosamine and/or chondroitin, there is a growing awareness that cetyl myristoleate equals or surpasses them in the treatment of the body pains brought on by various maladies such as bursitis, gout, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and sports related injuries.

arachidoyl dodecanoate
Arachidoyl dodecanoate, also known as dodecyl arachidate, is a member of the class of compounds known as wax monoesters. Wax monoesters are waxes bearing an ester group at exactly one position. Thus, arachidoyl dodecanoate is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. Arachidoyl dodecanoate is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Arachidoyl dodecanoate can be found in a number of food items such as feijoa, watercress, loganberry, and chives, which makes arachidoyl dodecanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
