Description

1-o-Palmitoyl-β-D-Glucopyranose is a specific monoester derivative of glucose and palmitic acid, representing a key intermediate in the synthesis of more complex glycolipids and surfactants. This compound matters for its role as a versatile building block in the production of non-ionic surfactants, emulsifiers, and specialty carbohydrate-based materials. It is needed by R&D laboratories and manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries, where it is used to create ingredients with tailored hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) properties.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier Intermediate: Serves as a crucial precursor in the synthesis of sugar-based non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers for cosmetic and personal care formulations.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient Development: Used in research for developing novel drug delivery systems, including liposomes and nanoemulsions, to enhance bioavailability.
• Biochemical Research: Acts as a substrate or intermediate in enzymatic studies and the synthesis of more complex glycolipids for biological membrane research.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a building block for creating specialty esters and other derivatives with specific functional properties.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Potential use in the formulation of skin-conditioning agents and moisturizers due to its fatty acid and sugar components.

Quality Control

Our 1-o-Palmitoyl-β-D-Glucopyranose is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product stability.
