Tetracosanoic acid, sodium salt (1:1)

Description:

Tetracosanoic acid, sodium salt (1:1), also known as sodium tetracosanoate, is a long-chain fatty acid salt derived from tetracosanoic acid, which is a saturated fatty acid with a 24-carbon chain. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white powder or solid and is soluble in water due to the presence of the sodium ion, which enhances its hydrophilicity compared to its parent acid. It is commonly used in various applications, including as a surfactant, emulsifier, and stabilizer in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations. The presence of the long hydrophobic carbon chain contributes to its ability to interact with lipids and proteins, making it useful in enhancing the texture and stability of products. Additionally, tetracosanoic acid, sodium salt may exhibit antimicrobial properties, which can be beneficial in preserving formulations. As with many fatty acid salts, it is important to handle it with care, considering potential irritant effects on skin and eyes. Overall, its unique properties make it a valuable ingredient in multiple industrial applications.
