CAS 10161-77-0: 1-Monopalmitin

Description: 1-Monopalmitin, also known as glyceryl monopalmitate, is a glyceride derived from palmitic acid and glycerol. It is classified as a monoacylglycerol, which means it consists of one fatty acid chain esterified to a glycerol backbone. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid or a viscous liquid, depending on the temperature and purity. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform. 1-Monopalmitin is known for its emulsifying properties, making it useful in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations. It can act as a surfactant, stabilizing emulsions and improving the texture of products. Additionally, it has applications in the food industry as a food additive and in the production of lipid-based drug delivery systems. Its safety profile is generally favorable, but as with any chemical, it should be handled with care, following appropriate safety guidelines.
