Description

Dicaprylin CAS NO 36354-80-0 is a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) specifically composed of caprylic acid (C8) moieties. This compound is valued for its excellent solubility, stability, and metabolic properties, making it a versatile functional ingredient. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries for use in drug delivery systems, dietary supplements, and as a chemical intermediate.

Application

• Pharmaceutical excipient and carrier for lipid-based drug delivery systems (e.g., self-emulsifying drug delivery systems - SEDDS).
• Nutraceutical ingredient in medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil formulations for dietary and sports nutrition.
• Solubilizing agent for poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Intermediate in the synthesis of more complex lipids and specialty esters.
• Functional component in cosmetic and personal care formulations for its emollient properties.
• Research and development chemical in biochemical and metabolic studies.

Quality Control

Our Dicaprylin is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We offer grades suitable for various applications, including pharmaceutical and food-grade specifications. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). As this material is easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
