:Glyceryl monocaproate
Description:
Glyceryl monocaproate, also known as glyceryl monolaurate, is an ester derived from glycerol and capric acid (also known as decanoic acid). It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid at room temperature, depending on its purity and formulation. This compound is known for its emulsifying and surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, particularly in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Glyceryl monocaproate exhibits antimicrobial activity, which can enhance the preservation of products by inhibiting the growth of certain bacteria and fungi. Additionally, it is considered safe for consumption and is often used as a food additive and a carrier for flavors and nutrients. Its hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) makes it effective in stabilizing oil-in-water emulsions. Overall, glyceryl monocaproate is valued for its multifunctional properties, contributing to product stability and efficacy across diverse formulations.
