HIGH PURITY POLYOL MONOESTER COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

The present technology generally relates to high purity polyol monoesters, and improved processes for producing high purity monoesters of a polyol and a fatty acid or fatty acid derivative by adding the fatty acid or fatty acid derivative to a preheated polyol at a desired rate and at an appropriate reaction temperature. The present technology also generally relates to liquid cleansing compositions comprising a high purity propylene glycol monoester, where such compositions preferably comprise a propylene glycol ester having at least about 80% by weight monoester content based on the total weight of the propylene glycol ester.
