Description

Glycerides, C8-10 Mono- And Di- (CAS NO 85536-07-8) is a defined mixture of medium-chain fatty acid esters of glycerol, primarily composed of caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) acid derivatives. This product serves as a versatile, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier, valued for its excellent solubilizing properties and stability. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries seeking efficient and safe excipients or formulation aids.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a solubilizer, bioavailability enhancer, and emulsifier in oral and topical drug formulations, including self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS).
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a non-ionic emulsifier, emollient, and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• Food Industry: Functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer in various food products, leveraging its GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) potential status.
• Industrial Applications: Employed as a lubricant, plasticizer, or intermediate in specialty chemical synthesis.
• Nutraceuticals: Used in the formulation of lipid-based supplements for improved nutrient absorption.

Quality Control

Our Glycerides, C8-10 Mono- And Di- is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment, detailing key parameters such as acid value, saponification value, and mono/di/tri-glyceride content. We adhere to relevant guidelines for pharmaceutical (ICH Q7), food (FCC), and cosmetic (ISO 22716) grade materials as required.

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 easily oxidized; for long-term storage or after opening, consider storing under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to maintain product integrity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
