Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (PHVO) is a modified vegetable oil produced by the partial hydrogenation of selected vegetable oils. The hydrogenation process changes the fatty-acid composition and physical properties of the oil, resulting in a material with increased oxidative stability and a higher melting range compared with the original liquid vegetable oil.
In pharmaceutical and specialty formulations, appropriately specified hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated vegetable oils can be used as lipid excipients, lubricants, binders, consistency modifiers, emollients and hydrophobic matrix-forming materials.
Swapnroop Pharma manufactures and supplies Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil in India for qualified pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, personal-care and specialty formulation applications.
Depending on the exact composition and grade, Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil may provide useful:
The exact functionality depends on the source oil, degree of hydrogenation, fatty-acid profile and finished-product specifications.
Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil can be evaluated for use in:
Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil is not a single chemically defined compound. It is a mixture of triglycerides whose fatty-acid composition depends on the source vegetable oil and degree of hydrogenation.
The hydrogenation process reduces the degree of unsaturation of selected fatty acids and can increase the material's melting point and oxidative stability.
The product may be supplied as a white to off-white solid, flakes, pellets, powder or waxy material, depending on the source oil and grade.
For pharmaceutical applications, important characteristics may include:
Because partially hydrogenated oils can differ substantially according to their source and manufacturing process, the exact source oil and specification should be established before commercial or regulatory use.
Swapnroop Pharma supplies Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil to pharmaceutical manufacturers, nutraceutical companies, cosmetic manufacturers and formulation developers.
Supply can be aligned with requirements for source oil, hydrogenation profile, fatty-acid composition, physical form, purity, packaging, documentation and intended application.
Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil should be stored in tightly closed, suitable containers or protective packaging in a cool, dry and clean environment. Exposure to excessive heat, direct sunlight, oxygen and contamination should be minimized.
Specific storage conditions should follow the applicable SDS, CoA, approved product specification and manufacturer's recommendations.
Depending on the selected grade and customer requirements, documentation may include:
