Description

Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil is a semi-solid to solid fat produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of liquid vegetable oils, resulting in increased stability, melting point, and oxidative resistance. This process is critical for modifying texture, shelf life, and functional performance in a wide range of formulated products. It serves as a key structural and texturizing agent for manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries seeking consistent, high-quality lipid ingredients.

Application

• Food Industry: Used as a structuring fat, coating agent, and texturizer in confectionery (e.g., chocolate compounds, candy centers), bakery products (shortenings, fillings), margarines, and non-dairy creamers.
• Pharmaceuticals: Functions as a lipid excipient and sustained-release matrix in solid dosage forms, as well as an ointment and suppository base due to its controlled melting properties.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Employed as an emollient, thickener, and stabilizer in formulations for lipsticks, creams, lotions, and pomades to provide structure and skin feel.
• Industrial Applications: Acts as a lubricant release agent, a component in bio-lubricants, and a raw material in the production of soaps and fatty acids.

Quality Control

Our Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. Depending on the grade, production may adhere to relevant standards such as FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) or pharmaceutical guidelines. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters like melting point, iodine value, and fatty acid composition to ensure consistency and suitability for your application.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures typically between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures and moisture to maintain product integrity and prevent rancidity.
