Corn Oil Excipient Manufacturer India | Swapnroop Pharma
Corn Oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the germ of corn (Zea mays). It is used as a pharmaceutical excipient and formulation ingredient because of its emollient, solvent, vehicle, and nutritional properties.
Corn Oil is primarily composed of triglycerides containing unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid and oleic acid. Its properties make it suitable for selected pharmaceutical formulations, soft-gel systems, topical preparations, and other applications requiring a vegetable-derived oil.
Corn Oil Excipient Overview
Corn Oil is generally a clear, pale-yellow to yellow liquid with a characteristic mild odor. It is practically insoluble in water and soluble in many organic and lipid-compatible media.
In pharmaceutical formulation, Corn Oil may serve as a vehicle, carrier, emollient, solvent, or formulation aid, depending on the grade and intended application.
