High-purity polysorbate 80, high-purity oleic acid and its derivatives
NOF Corporation’s high-purity oleic acid derivative polysorbate 80 (HX2) & # x2122; is the world’s highest quality polysorbate 80 with extremely low aldehyde and peroxide values. This feature is also linked to safety, and in tests using rat mast cells, it was found that histamine release was lower than that of general polysorbate 80. In addition, the latest data confirm that histamine release is low even in in vivo tests using dogs, and it is attracting attention from all over the world as a polysorbate that is less likely to cause allergies.
The company has also developed a method for producing 99% oleic acid in an industrial process. Since unsaturated fatty acids that are easily oxidized are removed, stability against oxidation is also improved, and derivatives with low peroxide and aldehyde contents can be obtained, making them ideal for pharmaceutical applications.
