1-Monopalmitin

Description:

1-Monopalmitin, also known as glyceryl palmitate, is a glycerol ester of palmitic acid, a saturated fatty acid. It is characterized by its molecular structure, which consists of a glycerol backbone esterified with one palmitic acid molecule. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid or a viscous liquid, depending on temperature and purity. It is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and chloroform but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 1-Monopalmitin is commonly used in the food industry as an emulsifier and stabilizer, helping to blend oil and water phases in various products. Additionally, it finds applications in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, where it serves as a surfactant and skin-conditioning agent. The substance is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used in food applications, but its safety profile should be considered in specific formulations and concentrations. Overall, 1-Monopalmitin plays a significant role in enhancing the texture and stability of various formulations across multiple industries.
