Docosanoic acid glycerol ester - Introduction
Glyceryl behenate, chemical formula C20H34O5, is an ester compound. It is an esterification product produced by the reaction of behenic acid with glycerol.
Glyceryl behenate is a colorless to light yellow liquid with low viscosity, easily soluble in ethanol, chloroform and other organic solvents, and insoluble in water. It has good stability and is not easy to oxidize.
It is widely used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. In medicine, glyceryl behenate is commonly used as a base oil and excipient for external use in the preparation of various ointments, creams and emulsions. In cosmetics, it is commonly used as an emulsifier, emollient and diluent, providing lubricity and moisturizing.
The preparation method of glyceryl behenate is generally an esterification reaction of behenic acid and glycerol under acid catalysis, and the reaction temperature is relatively high. At the end of the reaction, the pure glyceryl behenate product can be obtained by distillation under reduced pressure.
Some safety information is required when using glyceryl behenate. It is a low-toxic substance, but it is still necessary to avoid contact with skin and eyes. During use, it is necessary to maintain good ventilation conditions and avoid inhaling its aerosols. In case of accidental contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical help if necessary.
