Fatty acid (C10～C20) - Introduction
Fatty acid (C10-C20) refers to fatty acids with solid state morphology, which are usually composed of fatty acids with carbon chain lengths between C10 and C20. The following is the introduction of the nature, use, preparation and safety information of Fatty acid (C10 ~ C20):
Nature:
1. Appearance: Fatty acid (C10 ~ C20) usually appears as a white to light yellow solid.
2. Melting point: Fatty acid (C10 ~ C20) has a higher melting point, usually between 50°C and 70°C.
3. Solubility: Fatty acid (C10 ~ C20) is soluble in common organic solvents.
4. Acidity: Fatty acid (C10 ~ C20) shows acidic characteristics and can react with alkali to generate corresponding salt.
Use:
1. cosmetics: Fatty acid (C10 ~ C20) is commonly used in cosmetics as a softener and stabilizer.
2. Cosmetic products: Fatty acid (C10 ~ C20) can be used to prepare ingredients for cosmeceutical products, such as ointments and tablets.
3. food ingredients: Fatty acid (C10 ~ C20) can be used as food additives to improve taste and maintain food stability.
