Description

1-Monoarachidin (CAS NO 35474-99-8) is a high-purity monoglyceride derived from arachidic acid, valued for its role as a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifying agent. This compound is essential for formulators seeking to stabilize complex mixtures and modify the physical properties of lipid-based systems. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries for its functional performance and purity.

Application

• As a key emulsifier and stabilizer in food products like margarines, spreads, and whipped toppings.
• Functioning as a co-emulsifier and texture modifier in cosmetic and personal care formulations, including creams and lotions.
• Used as an excipient and bioavailability enhancer in pharmaceutical drug delivery systems.
• Acting as a processing aid and lubricant in industrial applications such as plastics and polymer manufacturing.
• Employed in nutritional supplements and specialty lipid preparations.
• Serving as a research chemical in biochemical studies and lipidomics research.

Quality Control

Our 1-Monoarachidin is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available 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). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize moisture uptake.
