:Polyethylene glycol monomyristate
Description:
Polyethylene glycol monomyristate (PEG monomyristate) is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifying agent commonly used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. It is derived from the esterification of polyethylene glycol with myristic acid, which contributes to its amphiphilic properties, allowing it to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white powder or waxy solid and is soluble in water, making it effective in stabilizing emulsions and enhancing the solubility of various active ingredients. PEG monomyristate is known for its low toxicity and is often utilized in formulations for drug delivery systems, improving the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. Additionally, it can serve as a thickening agent and is used in various applications, including food products, where it acts as an emulsifier. Its safety profile is generally favorable, but like all chemical substances, it should be used in accordance with regulatory guidelines and safety data.
