Glyceryl behenate Usage And Synthesis

Description

§184.1328(a) Glyceryl behenate is a mixture of glyceryl esters of behenic acid made from glycerin and behenic acid (a saturated C22 fatty acid). The mixture contains predominantly glyceryl dibehenate.

Chemical Properties

Off-white powder. Tasteless.

Uses

glyceryl behenate is derived from the glycerides of coconut fatty acids. It acts as an emollient, lubricant, and/or emulsifier in a cosmetic preparation.

Uses

Food additive.

Uses

Glyceryl Behenate is used as a carrier in lipid-based colloidal drug delivery system.

Definition

ChEBI: 1-behenoylglycerol is a fatty acid ester resulting from the formal condensation of the hydroxy group at position-1 of glycerol with the carboxy group of docosanoic acid. It has a role as a plant metabolite and an antineoplastic agent. It is a 1-monoglyceride and a fatty acid ester. It is functionally related to a glycerol and a docosanoic acid.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable
