Description

Sucrose 6'-Palmitate is a non-ionic, food-grade surfactant derived from sucrose and palmitic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and conditioning properties, offering a safe and effective alternative to synthetic surfactants. It is primarily utilized in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries where mildness, biocompatibility, and regulatory compliance are critical. Its unique structure provides superior surface activity while maintaining a favorable safety profile.

Application

• Food Industry: Used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in bakery products, dairy analogs, and whipped toppings.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Acts as a gentle surfactant and emulsifier in shampoos, facial cleansers, lotions, and creams.
• Pharmaceuticals: Employed as an excipient in topical formulations and as a solubilizing agent for active ingredients.
• Biotechnology: Serves as a mild detergent in cell culture and protein purification processes.
• Industrial Applications: Functions as a biodegradable emulsifier in agrochemicals and specialty cleaning formulations.

Quality Control

Our Sucrose 6'-Palmitate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets food-grade (FCC) and cosmetic-grade specifications. Key parameters such as assay, fatty acid composition, and residual solvents are verified. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity and compliance is available for every shipment upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place 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 product performance and flow characteristics.
