Palmitic Acid Ethyl Ester CAS 628-97-7

1. Acts Palmitic acid ethyl ester CAS 628-97-7 as a FEMA - approved flavor additive to add mild waxy, creamy and fatty notes to butter, milk, pork, rum and other food flavors and flavorings.

2. Serves Palmitic acid ethyl ester as an emollient and texture modifier in cosmetics, enhancing skin - moisturizing effect and product spreadability in creams, lotions and lip balms.

3. Functions as a key intermediate for synthesizing sucrose esters and lubricants, and as a reference standard for lipid analysis in biological and food research.

Store palmitic acid ethyl ester (CAS 628-97-7, white needle - like crystal, FEMA 2451, flash point 149°C, combustible) in sealed amber glass or HDPE containers at 2–8°C in a cool, dark, well - ventilated area. Isolate from strong oxidants and bases to avoid hydrolysis and oxidation. Wear nitrile gloves and safety goggles when handling; avoid inhalation and skin/eye contact to prevent mild irritation. Reseal tightly after use; keep away from open flames and high temperatures. Dispose of waste in line with local chemical waste and food additive waste regulations.

Palmitic acid ethyl ester is a food flavor additive, cosmetic emollient and chemical intermediate, not for direct human ingestion in pure form; undiluted intake may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort.

In regulated uses, Palmitic acid ethyl ester CAS 628-97-7 enriches food flavor to improve taste, boosts skin hydration and product texture in cosmetics, and supports the synthesis of high - value fine chemicals and research on lipid - related fields.
