Sodium Stearyl Fumarate Uses
Sodium stearyl fumarate (C22H39NaO4) is a widely used and important pharmaceutical and food excipient. During the metabolism of sodium stearyl fumarate in animals, most of it can be absorbed and hydrolyzed to produce stearyl alcohol and stearic acid. A small part can be directly and quickly metabolized, and it is non-toxic and non-irritating.
In the pharmaceutical field, sodium stearyl fumarate is added to pharmaceutical preparations. It can be used as a lubricant for tablets and capsules. It can also form a protective film in effervescent tablets, which can solve the problem of stearate lubricants. existing problems, and can improve drug disintegration and promote drug dissolution.
In the food field, the FDA allows sodium stearyl fumarate to be used as a regulator and stabilizer to be directly added to foods for human consumption, such as various baked goods, flour thickened foods, dried potatoes and processed grains, etc. Its addition amount can account for 0.2 to 1.0% of the food weight.
