Description

Glycerides, Palm-Oil Mono-, Hydrogenated is a high-purity, semi-synthetic lipid derivative produced through the controlled hydrogenation of palm oil monoglycerides. This process enhances its oxidative stability, making it a valuable, consistent, and functional ingredient for demanding formulations. It is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and high-end personal care industries where controlled lipid matrices are required.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a lipid-based solubilizer, bioavailability enhancer, and matrix former in solid dosage forms and semi-solid preparations.
• Nutraceutical & Softgel Encapsulation: Serves as a key component in the lipid fill of softgel capsules for vitamins and active ingredients, providing improved stability and shell compatibility.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as an emollient, consistency regulator, and stabilizer in creams, ointments, and stick formulations such as deodorants and lip balms.
• Food Industry (Food Grade): Functions as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and texturizing agent in specific food applications where hydrogenated fats are specified.
• Industrial Applications: Employed as a lubricant release agent, plasticizer, or processing aid in various non-food manufacturing processes.
