Applications
- Food Industry: Operates as a highly effective release agent and texturizer. It is used in the production of margarines, shortenings, and baked goods to provide a smooth mouthfeel and ensure products don’t stick to processing machinery or packaging.
- Pharmaceuticals: Acts as a solubilizing agent and binder in tablet formulations. It is also used as a coating agent for controlled-release drugs, helping to regulate how the body absorbs active ingredients.
- Cosmetics & Personal Care: Serves as a primary emollient and surfactant. It reinforces the skin’s natural lipid barrier to lock in moisture and is a foundational ingredient in soaps and shaving creams, creating a rich, stable, and creamy lather.
- Animal Nutrition: Used as an energy-dense feed additive, particularly in the dairy industry. It helps increase the milk fat content in cattle and provides a concentrated source of fatty acids to support overall livestock health and growth.
