Description

Sucrose (Z,Z)-9,12-Octadecadienoate is a sucrose ester derivative of linoleic acid, a key unsaturated fatty acid. This specialized compound is valued for its unique amphiphilic properties, combining the hydrophilic sucrose head with the lipophilic fatty acid tail, making it a versatile non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries for formulating stable emulsions, creams, and delivery systems.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary or co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing excellent skin feel and stability.
• Pharmaceutical Delivery Systems: Used in the development of lipid-based drug delivery systems to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Food-Grade Emulsifier (Potential): Sucrose esters are widely used in food; this specific ester may find application in specialized food products requiring specific fatty acid profiles.
• Biodegradable Surfactant: Serves as an environmentally friendly surfactant in agrochemicals or industrial cleaning formulations due to its natural sugar base.
• Research & Development: Utilized as a biochemical reagent or a standard in analytical research concerning lipid chemistry and surfactant science.
• Nutraceutical Encapsulation: Employed to encapsulate sensitive oils and vitamins, protecting them from oxidation and improving shelf life.

Quality Control

Our Sucrose (Z,Z)-9,12-Octadecadienoate is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay, fatty acid composition, and residual solvents is provided. We can support compliance with relevant standards for cosmetic (ISO 22716) and food-grade (FCC) applications upon request.

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). Keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to minimize moisture uptake and prevent oxidation.
