HEXADECANOIC ACID 3-HEXADECANOYLOXY-2-HYDROXY-PROPYL ESTER - Introduction
Glycerol 1,3-dipalmitate (Glycerol 1,3-dipalmitate) is a fatty Ester, also known as DPPG. The following is a description of its nature, use, formulation and safety information.
Nature:
Glycerol 1,3-dipalmitate is a white solid, odorless. It has a high melting point at room temperature and can reach a liquid state by heating up when melting. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and n-hexane.
Use:
Glycerol 1,3-dipalmitate is used as a food additive and stabilizer in the food industry, and is commonly used in the preparation of emulsifiable concentrates, oil emulsifiers and colloidal solutions. It is also widely used in pharmaceutical capsules, surfactants, cosmetics, personal care products and lubricants.
Preparation Method:
The preparation of Glycerol 1,3-dipalmitate is usually achieved by esterification. In the reaction, palmitic acid is esterified with Glycerol to produce Glycerol 1,3-dipalmitate. The reaction is usually carried out under acidic conditions and uses an acid catalyst, such as sulfuric acid or ammonium sulfate.
Safety Information:
According to the results of relevant toxicological studies, Glycerol 1,3-dipalmitate is considered safe under normal conditions of use. It is not irritating and allergenic and has no apparent toxic effects. However, as with any chemical substance, correct safe operating procedures should be followed. If exposed to the substance, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical help. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes during operation.
It is important to note that when using any chemical, the relevant safety information and operating instructions should be read and followed, and the correct laboratory safety rules should be followed.
