DESCRIPTION

Stearyl Monoglyceridyl Citrate occurs as a soft, off-white to tan, waxy solid having a lardlike consistency. It is prepared by a controlled chemical reaction from citric acid, monoglycerides of fatty acids (obtained by the glycerolysis of edible fats and oils or derived from fatty acids), and stearyl alcohol. It is insoluble in water, but is soluble in chloroform and in ethylene glycol.
