DEFINITION

Glyceryl Mono and Dicaprylocaprate is a mixture of glyceryl monoesters and diesters, mainly mono- and di-O-octanoylglycerol and mono- and di-O-decanoylglycerol, containing variable quantities of triesters of fatty acids composed predominately of caprylic acid and capric acid. The requirements for monoester, diester, and triester content are: Monoesters: 40.0%–75.0%; Diesters: 20.0%–50.0%; and Triesters: NMT 15.0%.
