Chemical Information
FooDB Name1-Octadecanol
DescriptionSolidifying agent for margarine and other foods containing semi-solid fats. Generally recognised as safe (GRAS) status in the USA Stearyl alcohol (also known as octadecyl alcohol or 1-octadecanol) is a substance prepared from stearic acid by the process of catalytic hydrogenation. It is a fatty alcohol. It has a wide range of uses as an ingredient in lubricants, resins, perfumes and cosmetics. It is used as an emollient, emulsifier, and thickener in ointments of various sorts, and is widely used as a hair coating in shampoos and hair conditioners. 1-Octadecanol is found in soft-necked garlic and potato.
