Glyceryl Monolinoleate USP NF Grade Specifications:
354.5 – CAS 26545-74-4

DEFINITION
Glyceryl Monolinoleate is a mixture of monoglycerides, mainly glyceryl monooleate and glyceryl monolinoleate, together with variable quantities of diglycerides and triglycerides. It is obtained by partial glycerolysis of vegetable oil that consists mainly of triglycerides of linoleic acid. It contains NLT 32.0% and NMT 52.0% of monoglycerides, NLT 40.0% and NMT 55.0% of diglycerides, and NLT 5.0% and NMT 20.0% of triglycerides. A suitable antioxidant may be added.
