Description

Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate CAS NO 70714-61-3 is a modified starch derivative widely used as a versatile emulsifier and stabilizer. Its amphiphilic nature, derived from the octenylsuccinic anhydride modification, makes it exceptionally effective for creating stable oil-in-water emulsions. This product is essential for manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries seeking to improve texture, shelf-life, and process stability in their formulations.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and stabilizer in flavor oil emulsions for beverages.
• Encapsulation agent for sensitive ingredients like vitamins, flavors, and clouding agents.
• Stabilizer and texture modifier in dairy products, sauces, and dressings.
• Binder and disintegrant in pharmaceutical tablet formulations.
• Emulsifier and thickener in cosmetic and personal care creams and lotions.
• Stabilizing agent for powdered drink mixes and instant food products.
• Film-forming agent for edible coatings and protective layers.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate is produced under strict quality management systems. We offer grades compliant with major food and pharmaceutical standards, including FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and USP-NF (United States Pharmacopeia) where applicable. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent performance and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) 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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent caking and degradation due to moisture absorption.
