:Heptanoic acid, monoester with 1,2,3-propanetriol
Description:
Heptanoic acid, monoester with 1,2,3-propanetriol, commonly known as glyceryl heptanoate, is an ester formed from the reaction of heptanoic acid and glycerol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic heptanoic acid chain. Glyceryl heptanoate is known for its emulsifying properties, making it useful in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations. It serves as a surfactant and can enhance the texture and stability of products. Additionally, it has applications in the production of biodiesel and as a lubricant. The compound is generally considered safe for use in food and cosmetic applications, although it is essential to adhere to regulatory guidelines regarding its concentration and usage. Overall, glyceryl heptanoate is valued for its functional properties and versatility in various industrial applications.
