Phytosteryl canola glycerides

Phytosteryl canola glycerides (CAS 68990-51-2), also known commercially as glycerides, vegetable-oil, mixed with vegetable-oil sterol esters, is a plant-derived lipid blend combining canola-sourced glycerides with phytosterol esters.

It functions as an emulsifier and moisturizing agent across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations. In functional food and nutraceutical products, it acts as a structuring emulsifier while delivering plant sterol content.

This material is highly relevant to cholesterol-management positioning in the health sector. Cosmetic formulators use it to build stable oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions in skin creams and lotions.

Its plant-derived origin supports clean-label and natural product claims for modern brands. In pharmaceutical topical preparations, it contributes to emulsion stability and skin barrier support without relying on synthetic emulsifiers.

Food manufacturers also incorporate it into fat-reduced spreads and dairy alternatives to improve texture and mouthfeel. Phytosteryl canola glycerides is typically supplied as a semi-solid or waxy solid at room temperature.

The product is available in bulk and smaller packaged formats for various industrial needs. Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are the most commonly encountered in the global chemical market.

Buyers should verify phytosterol ester content and fatty acid profile against their formulation targets. Evaluating supplier lots ensures compliance with specific application requirements and internal quality control protocols.
