Is Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride CAS 65381-09-1 a single fixed molecule?

No. It is a mixture of medium-chain triglycerides, primarily based on caprylic and capric fatty acids. Supplier approval should use the agreed fatty-acid distribution and compendial or technical specification, not a single molecular formula.

What is Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride used for?

It is used mainly as an emollient, carrier oil and light-feel lipid in cosmetic and personal-care formulations, and in selected food or pharmaceutical applications where a suitable grade is approved. The required grade and documentation depend on the end market.

Which tests are useful when qualifying Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride?

Review the C8/C10 fatty-acid profile, acid value, saponification value, iodine value, hydroxyl value, water, peroxide value, color and density. Limits should match the intended formulation and the relevant pharmacopeial, food or cosmetic grade.

Can one Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride grade be used for every application?

Not automatically. Cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical uses may require different monograph compliance, manufacturing controls, traceability and supporting documents. State the market, dosage-form or formulation use and required standard before requesting a quotation.

What are typical physical characteristics of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride?

It is commonly a colorless to pale-yellow, low-viscosity oily liquid that is practically odorless and tasteless. The relative density is typically near 0.94-0.96, and C8/C10-based grades have low iodine values and good oxidation stability compared with many unsaturated vegetable oils.

Product Description

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is a mixed ester of glycerol with predominantly caprylic and capric fatty acids. It is not a single defined molecule.

CAS Number: 65381-09-1.

EINECS: 265-724-3.

Molecular formula: No single molecular formula – mixed C8/C10 triglycerides.

A single molar mass is not applicable to this mixed ester.

Density: confirm the current product-specific value.

Physical form, appearance, and key quality limits: confirm the current product-specific specification.

Packaging selection must match the offered material and destination requirements. Confirm the current option before quotation.

The material is a mixture of caprylic- and capric-acid triglycerides; assess the offered material using the current product-specific specification.

Typical formulation context

Typical use: a mixed C8/C10 triglyceride evaluated as an emollient and carrier oil in cosmetic and personal-care formulations. Confirm composition and formulation compatibility.

Confirm formulation compatibility for the intended application; do not infer a specific grade from the INCI identity.

Confirm documentation availability and intended-market requirements before evaluating the offered material for formulation use.

Food-use suitability is not established by this page and must be confirmed separately for any intended market.
