Glyceryl caprylate is made from coconut oil or palm kernel oil, mountain Litsea cubeba oil and other oils are used as raw materials. After hydrolysis, fractionation and cutting, caprylic acid, capric acid and glycerol are esterified, and then deacidified, dehydrated and decolorized.
It is understood that octanoic acid glyceryl ester is widely used in the food industry. Let us learn about it together:
Application in flavors and fragrances:
Glyceryl caprylate has a low freezing point and low viscosity ( Only vegetable oils are common, about 25-31CP.25 degrees Celsius). The product is colorless and odorless, clear and transparent, and has good stability to oxygen. In addition, it has good compatibility with oils, esters and flavors and fragrances, making it a good choice for flavors and fragrances. Oil base, diluent and emulsion stabilizer are widely used.
Application in candy and chocolate:
Coating of various candies and desserts, required Low viscosity grease is needed to achieve the ideal glossy, non-stick glass shell, so low viscosity octyl glyceryl ester is the ideal raw material for making this product. Use it with beeswax when applying and you will get great results.
The use of octyl glyceryl ester in chocolate can reduce the viscosity of chocolate, improve the instant dissolution performance of chocolate in the mouth, improve the mutual solubility between natural cocoa butter and similar (substituted) cocoa butter, thereby improving the quality of chocolate .
Other applications in the food industry:
Glyceryl octanoate is used in combination with emulsifiers, adding artificial In cream and shortening, it can enhance the stability of oil-water emulsification, make the particles uniform and fine, and have a good taste, especially when added to a mixture of fats and oils with different melting points.
Glyceryl caprylate can also be used in cold drink products, pastries and beverage products.
