Description

Monopalmitin is a monoglyceride derived from palmitic acid, serving as a versatile non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier. Its amphiphilic nature makes it a critical ingredient for stabilizing emulsions and modifying texture in various industrial formulations. This high-purity compound is essential for manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical, and personal care sectors seeking reliable, food-grade additives. Monopalmitin CAS NO 19670-51-0 is valued for its consistent performance and compliance with stringent global quality standards.

Application

• As a key emulsifier and stabilizer in food products like margarine, whipped toppings, and baked goods.
• Functioning as a co-emulsifier and texture modifier in cosmetic and personal care creams, lotions, and ointments.
• Utilized as a dispersing agent and plasticizer in industrial applications, including plastics and coatings.
• Acting as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex lipids and esters for specialized chemical production.
• Employed in pharmaceutical formulations as an excipient to enhance drug solubility and delivery.
• Used in research and development as a standard or reference material for analytical and biochemical studies.

Quality Control

Our Monopalmitin is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets specifications for identity, purity, and composition. We can supply material compliant with FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and food-grade standards, suitable for sensitive applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect quality and performance.
