Capmul MCM EP

Capmul[R] products are emulsifiers prepared through the glycerolysis of select fats and oils. They are lipophilic, insoluble in water and soluble in oils at elevated temperatures. They are used to produce stable emulsions and to modify viscosity. They function as very effective carriers and solubilisers of active compounds. Mono-diglyceride medium chain esters are particularly recommended for the dissolution of difficult compounds such as sterols and have also exhibited bacteriostatic activity. Capmul[R] MCM is a mono-diglyceride of medium chain fatty acids and is an excellent solvent for many organic compounds, including steroids. It is also a useful emulsifier for water-oil (w/o) systems.
