Decaglyceryl dioleate

Decaglyceryl dioleate (CAS 33940-99-7) is a polyglycerol ester of oleic acid used as a non-ionic emulsifier and carrier in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations.

It belongs to the polyglycerol ester family, a class recognized for stabilizing oil-in-water and water-in-oil systems across a broad range of processing conditions.

In food manufacturing, it functions as an emulsifier in dressings, spreads, and low-fat products where stable oil-water interfaces are required at low use levels.

Cosmetic formulators use it to build stable emulsions in creams and lotions, particularly where a mild, skin-compatible emulsifier is needed to replace more irritating alternatives.

In pharmaceutical applications, it acts as a solubilizer and carrier for lipophilic active ingredients in oral and topical delivery systems for various formulations.

It is also used in bakery and confectionery processing to improve fat dispersion and extend product shelf life by maintaining consistent texture and moisture levels.

Decaglyceryl dioleate is typically supplied as a viscous liquid or paste at ambient temperature. Food-grade material is the most common commercial specification available.

Some suppliers offer material compliant with FCC or regional food additive standards. Technical-grade material is available for industrial and cosmetic applications.
