In the pharmaceutical field, hydrogenated palm oil has several functions and applications. Here are some of them:
1. Excipient in drug formulations: Hydrogenated palm oil can be used as an excipient or an inactive ingredient in various pharmaceutical formulations, such as capsules, ointments, creams, and suppositories.
2. Sustained-release drug delivery systems: Hydrogenated palm oil can be incorporated into sustained-release formulations to control the release rate of active pharmaceutical ingredients, allowing for prolonged drug action and reduced dosing frequency.
3. Solubility enhancement: It can improve poorly water-soluble drugs' solubility and dissolution rate by acting as a solubilizing agent or carrier in pharmaceutical formulations.
4. Emulsifying agent: Hydrogenated palm oil can act as an emulsifier in pharmaceutical emulsion formulations, enabling the dispersion of oil and water phases and improving stability.
5. Lubricant: It can be used as a lubricating agent in tablet manufacturing processes, facilitating the production of compressed tablets with smooth surfaces and reducing friction between the tablet and the equipment.
6. Topical applications: Hydrogenated palm oil can be used in topical formulations, such as creams and lotions, providing emollient and occlusive properties to moisturize the skin and enhance drug delivery through the skin.
