Sorbitan Monostearate
INS: **1 CAS: [********6]
DESCRIPTION
Sorbitan Monostearate occurs as an off white to tan colored,
hard, waxy solid. It is a mixture of partial stearic and
palmitic
acid esters of sorbitol and its mono- and dianhydrides. It
is manufactured by reacting edible commercial stearic acid
(usually containing associated fatty acids, chiefly palmitic)
with sorbitol. It is soluble at temperatures above its melting
point in toluene, dioxane, ether, ethanol, methanol, and
aniline.
It is insoluble in cold water, and in mineral spirits and
acetone,
but is dispersible in warm water and soluble, with haze, above
*0° in mineral oil and in ethyl acetate.
