Glyceryl caprylate is a colorless, odorless, low-viscosity, transparent liquid. neutral. Easy to mix with ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, chloroform, glycerin and other solvents. It is also soluble in many lipid substances in cosmetics. It is stable at low temperatures and is still transparent below 0oC (freezing point -10oC), with an HLB value of 12.5.
Glyceryl caprylate is a good emulsifier:
Glyceryl caprylate is a hydrophilic emulsifier. In fact, its structure is exactly the same as that of oil. It is a glyceride with three fatty acids connected to it. Therefore, it has no emulsifying properties. It should be said that it is not an emulsifier. However, it has a medium carbon chain structure and its molecular weight is only half that of ordinary oil. It can be used between oil and water, so it has a stabilizing effect after emulsification.
Its viscosity is only half that of ordinary oil, and its specific gravity is greater than ordinary oil. These properties make its stability after emulsification much better than ordinary oil. It is also an excellent diluent in oil products. It is colorless, odorless, low in viscosity, and will not interfere with the fragrance of flavors. It can be used as the base material, solvent, diluent, and stabilizer of flavors in flavors. It is an important component in emulsified flavors. of oil base and developer. It has an excellent effect as an ester emollient and active care agent in cosmetics and is easily absorbed by the skin.
In addition, octanoic acid glyceryl ester and lecithin are used together as emulsifiers of milk products, which does not affect the flavor of milk, can improve the instant solubility of milk, reduce the phenomenon of fat separation in milk, and regulate milk products. Fat composition, get more reasonable products for nutritional health.
