Description

Raffinose Myristate CAS NO 91433-10-2 is a specialized carbohydrate ester, specifically the myristic acid ester of the trisaccharide raffinose. This compound is valued for its unique surfactant and emulsifying properties derived from its hybrid hydrophilic-hydrophobic structure. It serves as a critical functional ingredient for formulators in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and advanced material science industries seeking biocompatible and tunable performance additives.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a non-ionic surfactant and solubilizing agent in drug delivery systems, including self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) and nanoemulsions.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a mild emulsifier, stabilizer, and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and serums.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a substrate or intermediate in enzymatic studies and the synthesis of more complex glycolipids.
• Food-Grade Emulsifier: Potential application as a specialty emulsifier in food products where a sucrose ester derivative is required.
• Material Science: Serves as a bio-based building block or surface modifier in the development of functional polymers and coatings.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Used in the formulation of stable emulsion-based reagents for clinical diagnostics.
