Description

6-Octanoyl Sucrose is a sucrose ester derivative where an octanoyl (capryloyl) group is esterified to the sucrose molecule. This compound is valued for its role as a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier, offering a balance of hydrophilic and lipophilic properties. It is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries for its ability to stabilize formulations and enhance solubility. Our supply of CAS 13039-39-9 meets the stringent quality demands of these sectors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical excipient for enhancing drug solubility and bioavailability.
• Key surfactant and emulsifier in cosmetic and personal care formulations (creams, lotions).
• Food-grade additive (E-number where applicable) for emulsification and stabilization.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of more complex sucrose ester surfactants.
• Stabilizing agent in nanoemulsion and microemulsion drug delivery systems.
• Component in specialty detergent and cleaning formulations.
• Used in agricultural adjuvants to improve pesticide or herbicide spreading and absorption.
• Research and development chemical for studying surfactant properties and carbohydrate chemistry.
