(C12-C18)Trialkyl glyceride - Introduction
Glycerides are compounds formed from glycerol and fatty acids. C12-18 means that the fatty acid has a chain length of 12 to 18 carbon atoms. The nature of this fatty acid is related to the carbon chain length and degree of saturation, and the common C12-18 fatty acid chain may be a saturated fatty acid (such as stearic acid) or an unsaturated fatty acid (such as oleic acid).
Glycerides have a variety of uses. They are commonly used as emulsifiers, stabilizers and preservatives in the food industry. In addition, they are widely used in the manufacture of soaps, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and plastics. Specific uses also include as lubricants, emulsifiers and surfactants in the food processing and grease industries.
The method for preparing Glycerides is usually prepared by reacting glycerol with fatty acids. This reaction is usually carried out under acidic or basic conditions to form ester bonds between glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerides can be prepared, for example, by esterification of glycerol with fatty acid esters using a base catalyst.
Regarding safety information, Glycerides are generally considered to be relatively safe compounds. They are generally not significantly toxic, but may cause some adverse reactions at specific concentrations and conditions of use. Use should follow the relevant safety procedures, and pay attention to prevent possible skin irritation, allergic reactions or food allergy risk. Specific safety information should refer to the relevant safety data sheet or consult a professional body.
