Medium-Chain Triglycerides
CAS Number: 73398-61-5
Medium-Chain Triglycerides
Medium-Chain Triglycerides USP NF Grade Specifications:
Glycerides, mixed decanoyl and octanoyl.
Caprylic and capric triglycerides.
Medium-Chain Triglycerides consist of a mixture of triglycerides of saturated fatty acids, mainly of caprylic acid (C8H16O2) and capric acid (C10H20O2). The fatty acids are derived from the oil extracted from the hard, dried fraction of the endosperm of Cocos nucifera L. or from the dried endosperm of Elaeis guineensis Jacq. They contain not less than 95 percent of saturated fatty acids with 8 and 10 carbon atoms.
Packaging and storage: Preserve in tight containers, protected from light. Store at temperatures not exceeding 25C.Labeling: Where it is intended for use in parenteral nutrition, it is so labeled.
Appearance: The substance is clear and not more intensely colored than a solution prepared immediately before use by mixing 2.4 mL of ferric chloride and 0.6 mL of cobaltous chloride with Diluent, prepared as directed below, to make 10.0 mL, and diluting 5.0 mL of the solution so obtained with Diluent to make 10.0 mL. Make the comparison by viewing the substance and the solution downward in matched color-comparison tubes against a white surface
Diluent: Transfer 27.5 mL of hydrochloric acid to a 1000-mL volumetric flask, and dilute with water to volume.
Identification:
A: It meets the requirements of the test for Saponification value.
B: It meets the requirements of the test for Fatty acid composition.
Specific gravity: between 0.93 and 0.96, at 20 .
Acid value: not more than 0.2.
Hydroxyl value: not more than 10.
Iodine value: not more than 1.0.
Peroxide value: not more than 1.0.
Saponification value: between 310 and 360, determined on 1.0 g.
Unsaponifiable matter: not more than 0.5%, determined on 5.0 g.
Fatty acid composition: The fatty acid fraction of Medium-Chain Triglycerides exhibits the following composition, as determined in the section Fatty Acid Composition. Disregard any peak with an area less than 0.05% of the total area:
Carbon-Chain Length & Percentage:
6: 2%
8: 50-80%
10: 20-50%
12: 3%
14: 1%
Viscosity: between 25 and 33 centipoises determined at 20 ± 0.1 with a capillary viscosimeter.
Refractive index: between 1.440 and 1.452, at 20.
Alkaline impurities: Dissolve 2.0 g of Medium-Chain Triglycerides in a mixture of 1.5 mL of alcohol and 3.0 mL of ethyl ether. Add 0.05 mL of bromophenol blue, and titrate with 0.01 N hydrochloric acid to a yellow endpoint: not more than 0.15 mL of 0.01 N hydrochloric acid is required.
Water: not more than 0.2%.
Total ash: not more than 0.1%, determined on 2.0 g.
