Decaglycerin monooleate

Decaglycerin monooleate (CAS 79665-93-3) is a polyglycerol ester derived from decaglycerol and oleic acid, functioning as a nonionic emulsifier and solubilizer across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications. Its high hydrophilic character makes it effective at stabilizing oil-in-water systems where conventional mono- and diglycerides fall short. In food manufacturing, it emulsifies fat-based fillings and bakery shortenings.

This ingredient improves texture consistency and shelf stability in margarine and other spreads. Pharmaceutical formulators use it as a carrier and solubilizer for lipophilic active ingredients in oral and topical delivery systems. In personal care, it stabilizes emulsions in creams and lotions while supporting the dispersion of oils in water-based formulations. It also functions as a co-emulsifier in low-fat and reduced-calorie food products.

Clean-label polyglycerol esters are often preferred over synthetic alternatives in modern formulations. Decaglycerin monooleate is typically supplied as a viscous liquid or paste at ambient temperature. Food-grade material conforming to FCC or regional food additive specifications is the most commonly traded form. Technical-grade material is available for cosmetic and industrial applications.

This versatile chemical ensures high performance in complex formulations where food compliance is not required. It remains a staple for manufacturers seeking reliable emulsification and solubilization properties.
