GLYCERYL ROSINATE

GLYCERYL ROSINATE

Glyceryl Rosinate is a monoester of glycerin and mixed long chain acids derived from Rosin
Glyceryl Rosinate's high density allows it to keep oils suspended in water. 
Therefore, Glyceryl Rosinate is often used as a stabilizer in beverages and is quite common in chewing gum. 
In cosmetics, Glyceryl Rosinate is primarily used in wax for hair removal, mascaras, and lipsticks. 

CAS: 8050-31-5
EINECS:    232-482-5

Glyceryl Rosinate, also called Glycerol Ester of Gum Rosin (GEGR) or Ester Gum, is anoil-soluble food additive. 
Glyceryl Rosinate's high density helps keep oils in suspension in water and this property is the reason why it is often used as a beverage stabilizer. 
Glyceryl Rosinate is widely used as a base in the production of chewing-gum. 
Glyceryl Rosinate also serves as analternative to brominated vegetable oil in citrus oil flavored soft drinks. 
In some cases both ingredients are used together. 

Glyceryl rosinate is an ester of long chain acids derived from a plant-based ingredient known as rosin. 
Glyceryl Rosinate may be plant-derived or synthetic, with both types working as emollients, surfactants, and emulsifiers. 

Glyceyl rosinate is most often used when oils need to remain suspended in a water-based solution. 
For this reason, Glyceryl Rosinate tends to be used in blends that include plant oils such as castor seed or olive and emollient shea butter. 
Such blends are sometimes used as replacements for the animal-derived emollient lanolin.

Amounts of this ingredient in use range from 8% in mascaras, 1–10% in lipsticks to upwards of 96% in depilatories, attesting to the versatility glyceryl rosinate has. 
Attesting to its safety, glyceryl rosinate is also used in beverages to create texture and improve flavor stability.

Glyceryl rosinate also is known as, GEGR (Glyceryl ester of gum rosin)/ ester gum is a monoester of glycerol and mixed long-chain acids of rosin, also called rosin acid/resin acid. 
Glyceryl Rosinate is produced via a special process; the process provides product stability plus it does not lose its quality upon aging.

Similar to other monoesters, they have a structure that fits for use as an emulsifier or surfactant. 
An emulsifier holds both the oil and water phase together efficiently. 
They have certain active functional groups in a molecular structure that takes care of the water part and long aliphatic chain, in the same structure of a molecule that takes care of the oil part. 
So, the emulsifier helps the formulation look uniform and appealing to the eye.  
Surfactant is another use of the ester gum, which helps create foam upon actual use of a product. 
Although foam may not be necessary for the product it is very important for the consumer as foam is normally seen as a way of showing that it is actually cleaning. 
The Esters usually imparts moisturization and are good film formers. 
They form an occlusive and protective film that helps skin retain moisture. 
Glyceryl Rosinate is helpful when dry skin is a real problem. 
Glyceryl Rosinate is used in personal care products, depilatory or hair removal creams, and in various cosmetic products.

Glyceryl Rosinate is a pale yellow to amber solid with a sweet taste that is used in citrus flavored soft drinks, chewing gum, and ice cream.

Glyceryl Rosinate at a Glance

• Versatile ingredient found in skin care, makeup, and beverages

• Works as an emollient, emulsifier, and surfactant

• Often combined with plant oils and delicate emollients to improve stability

• Very high amounts are used in depilatories

APPLICATIONS & USES

• as anti-oxidant and softening with good tase in the production of SBR or polyvinyl acetate based chewing-gum and bubble gum. 

• as emulsification stabilizer in soft drink

• as tackifier in depilatory and Cosmetic industry

• Applied on coated urea fertilizer for tobacco

• as a thixotropic agent of pesticide dispersion

Benefits

• Its high density helps keep oils in suspension in water and this property is why it is often used as a beverage stabilizer.

• It also serves as an alternative to brominated vegetable oil in citrus oil flavored soft drinks.

• Totally soluble in aromatic, aliphatic and chlorinated solvents, Not soluble in alcohols, ketones (except butanol and MEK)

The glyceryl monoesters occur primarily as white to yellow oils or oily waxes. 
Ingredient names containing a “/”, such as Glyceryl Caprylate/Caprate, are mixtures of monoesters, Glyceryl Caprylate and Glyceryl Caprate. 
SE in the name means that it is a self-emulsifying grade that contains some sodium and/or potassium salts of the acid. 
Glyceryl monoesters are primarily used in the formulation of creams and lotions, moisturizers, and other skin care products, but glyceryl monoesters can also be found in permanent waves, deodorants, bath soaps, eye makeup and foundations.

Glycerol Ester Of Rosin also named Glyceryl Rosinate or Ester Gum, it’s made of gum rosin and glycerol ester with stabilizing treatment. 
Glyceryl Rosinate can be perfectly dissolved in polymers. 
Glyceryl Rosinate comes with excellent adhesivity to be widely used in various adhesive manufactures, it is light color and economic type of tackifier material.

Glycerol Ester of Gum Rosin (GEGR), also called as Glyceryl Rosinate, or  Ester Gum, is an oil-soluble food additive which esterified with Rosin and edible Glycerol.
