Cottonseed Oil Excipient Manufacturer India | Swapnroop Pharma
Cottonseed Oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the seeds of the cotton plant, primarily Gossypium species. It is used as a pharmaceutical excipient and formulation ingredient in applications where a vegetable-derived oil is required as a vehicle, emollient, solvent, or formulation aid.
Pharmaceutical-grade Cottonseed Oil is composed mainly of triglycerides containing linoleic, palmitic, oleic, and other fatty acids. Its physical and chemical characteristics make it suitable for selected pharmaceutical, topical, and oil-based formulation systems.
Cottonseed Oil Excipient Overview
Cottonseed Oil is generally a clear, pale-yellow to yellow oily liquid. It is practically insoluble in water and contains a mixture of triglycerides derived from naturally occurring fatty acids.
The quality and suitability of Cottonseed Oil depend on the source, refining process, fatty-acid profile, purity, and applicable pharmaceutical grade.
