Glycerides, mixed coco, decanoyl and octanoyl

Glycerides, mixed coco, decanoyl and octanoyl (CAS 68606-18-8), commercially known as Myritol 331 N, is a blend of partial glycerides derived from coconut oil, caprylic acid, and capric acid. It functions as an emulsifier, moisturizer, and rheology modifier across personal care, food, and industrial formulations.

In skin and hair care, it acts as an emollient and emulsifier in creams, lotions, and conditioning treatments, helping stabilize oil-in-water systems while improving skin feel. Food manufacturers use it to control texture and fat crystallization in confectionery coatings and bakery fillings.

In coatings and adhesive formulations, it serves as a plasticizing emulsifier that improves substrate wetting and film flexibility. Its humectant profile also supports moisture retention in leave-on cosmetic products where long-term hydration is a formulation target.

The material is supplied as a pale yellow to amber liquid or semi-solid depending on temperature. Standard commercial grades are available for cosmetic and food applications, with food-grade material typically meeting FCC specifications.

Packaging options generally include drums and IBCs for bulk procurement. This versatile ingredient is valued for its ability to bridge the gap between oil and water phases in complex chemical systems while maintaining high stability.

Its unique composition allows for excellent spreadability and a non-greasy finish in topical applications. Manufacturers rely on its consistent performance to ensure the shelf-life and structural integrity of diverse consumer and industrial goods.
