Product description:White or light yellow waxy solid, odourless, tasteless. Relative density 0.97, melting point and 56 ~ 58 ℃. Soluble in ethanol, benzene, acetone, mineral oil, fatty oil and other hot organic solvents, insoluble in water, but under the strong mixing can be dispersed in water emulsion. The HLB value of 3.8.The goods as emulsifier. Applied in food additives, such as bread, biscuits, pastries usage is the largest, the second is made with cream, butter, ice cream. As excipient in pharmaceutical products, use neutral ointment preparation; In the daily chemicals, used in the preparation of cold cream, frost, clams oil etc. Also used as a solvent, oil and wax hygroscopic powder protectant and opaque sunscreen. Glycerol and fatty acids of glycerin fatty acid ester, acid monoester and diester, three esters, three ester is fat, no emulsification ability. Generally use a mixture of monoester and diester, also can be obtained distillation refining monoester content is about 90% of the products. The fatty acids, can be the stearic acid, palmitic acid, myristic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, etc.
