Description

General description

1 Set = 5 X 25 GM

A mixture of polyoxyethylated triglycerides, by reacting castor oil with ethylene oxide in a molar ratio of 1 : 35, that acts as a nonionic surfactant and serves as a formulation vehicle (p.o. and i.v. administration) for poorly-water soluble pharmacological agents.

Hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) ~ 12 - 14.

Application

• Proteomic responses of carotenoid and retinol administration to Mongolian gerbils.: This research examines the proteomic responses in Mongolian gerbils administered with carotenoids and retinol. Cremophor^® EL is utilized as a solubilizing agent for these compounds, highlighting its role in biochemical studies involving lipid-soluble substances (Bohn et al., 2018).
