CAS 73398-61-5

Glycerides, mixed decanoyl and octanoyl

Description:

Glycerides, mixed decanoyl and octanoyl, identified by the CAS number 73398-61-5, are a type of mono- and diglycerides derived from glycerol and fatty acids, specifically decanoic acid (capric acid) and octanoic acid (caprylic acid). These compounds are typically characterized by their emulsifying properties, making them useful in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications. They exhibit a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) that allows them to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, enhancing texture and consistency in formulations. Glycerides of this nature are generally colorless to pale yellow liquids or solids, depending on their specific composition and purity. They are soluble in organic solvents but have limited solubility in water. Additionally, they are considered safe for consumption and are often used as food additives, contributing to the mouthfeel and stability of various products. Their fatty acid composition can influence their melting point and physical properties, making them versatile ingredients in various industrial applications.

Decanoyl and octanoyl glycerides

CAS: 73398-61-5

Decanoyl and octanoyl glycerides are monolayer lipids that can form a barrier to protect the colon from toxic substances. They have been shown to inhibit the production of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in colorectal adenocarcinoma cells and reduce the number of caco-2 cells. These compounds are also used as a nutrient supplement for cell cultures. Decanoyl and octanoyl glycerides have been shown to be irritant in humans, but not in mice. The level of irritation is related to their fatty acid composition, with caproic acid being more irritating than methyl anthranilate.
