Description

Decanoyl- And Octanoyl Glycerides is a defined mixture of mono-, di-, and triglycerides derived from caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) fatty acids. This compound matters as a versatile, non-ionic surfactant and solubilizer with excellent emulsifying properties and a favorable safety profile. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and personal care industries for formulating stable emulsions, enhancing drug solubility, and improving product texture.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Solubilizer & Emulsifier: Used in oral and topical formulations to enhance the bioavailability of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Lipid-Based Drug Delivery Systems: A key component in self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) and self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS).
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as an emulsifier, emollient, and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Employed as an excipient in softgel capsules and liquid formulations for fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K).
• Food Industry Additive: Functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer in certain food products (subject to specific grade and regulatory approval).
• Industrial Applications: Serves as a lubricant, plasticizer, or intermediate in various specialty chemical processes.

Quality Control

Our Decanoyl- And Octanoyl Glycerides is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We offer grades suitable for pharmaceutical (e.g., compliant with ICH Q7), food, and industrial applications. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as acid value, saponification value, hydroxyl value, and fatty acid composition. 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 controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed tightly after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
