Description

Dextrin Palmitate is a chemically modified carbohydrate derivative, specifically a palmitic acid ester of dextrin. This modification imparts valuable amphiphilic properties, making it a functional ingredient for stabilizing and texturizing complex formulations. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and food industries seeking natural-derived, multifunctional excipients and emulsifiers. The compound is identified by CAS No. 83271-10-7.

Application

• As a natural emulsifier and stabilizer in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sunscreens.
• Functioning as a film-forming agent and texture enhancer in hair care and skincare products.
• Utilized as a binding and coating agent in pharmaceutical tablet formulations.
• Acting as a encapsulation matrix for flavors, fragrances, or active ingredients in food and supplements.
• Serving as a thickening and gelling agent in various food products and industrial applications.
• Used in the production of specialty adhesives and coatings where modified starch properties are beneficial.
