:Octadecanoic acid, 2,3-bis[(1-oxohexadecyl)oxy]propyl ester
Description:
Octadecanoic acid, 2,3-bis[(1-oxohexadecyl)oxy]propyl ester, also known as glyceryl tristearate, is a chemical compound characterized by its ester functional groups derived from octadecanoic acid (stearic acid) and glycerol. This substance is typically a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform. It has a high melting point due to its long hydrocarbon chains, which contribute to its hydrophobic nature. Octadecanoic acid is commonly used in the food industry as an emulsifier and stabilizer, as well as in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals for its moisturizing properties. Additionally, it serves as a lubricant and thickening agent in various formulations. Its structure allows for the formation of micelles and lipid bilayers, making it relevant in biochemistry and material science. Safety data indicates that it is generally regarded as safe for use in food and cosmetic applications, although, like all chemicals, it should be handled with appropriate precautions.
