Description

Sucrose Laurate is a non-ionic, food-grade surfactant derived from the esterification of sucrose and lauric acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and solubilizing properties, making it a key ingredient in formulations requiring mildness and biocompatibility. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries seeking natural, high-performance surfactants.

Application

• Food Industry: Acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer in baked goods, dairy products, and whipped toppings.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in shampoos, facial cleansers, lotions, and other skincare products.
• Pharmaceuticals: Serves as an excipient in drug delivery systems, enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of active ingredients.
• Industrial Applications: Functions as a dispersing agent and wetting agent in agrochemicals and specialty chemical formulations.
• Biotechnology: Employed in cell culture media and as a component in various biochemical research applications.

Quality Control

Our Sucrose Laurate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards and consistent performance specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, composition, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

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