Trilaurin

Description:

Trilaurin, also known as glyceryl trilaurate, is a triglyceride formed from glycerol and lauric acid, which is a saturated fatty acid. It is a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform. Trilaurin is primarily used in the food and cosmetic industries as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickening agent due to its ability to enhance the texture and consistency of products. Additionally, it has applications in pharmaceuticals, where it can serve as a carrier for drug delivery systems. Trilaurin is known for its relatively low toxicity and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used in food products. Its fatty acid composition contributes to its properties, including its melting point and stability. Overall, trilaurin is valued for its functional characteristics in various formulations, making it a versatile ingredient in multiple sectors.
