| General description: | Capric alcohol, also known as decyl alcohol, is a medium-chain fatty alcohol used in biologic formulations primarily as an emulsifier and stabilizer. Its hydrophobic properties make it effective in maintaining the stability of lipid-based formulations. In biologics, capric alcohol aids in the development of drug delivery systems, ensuring that therapeutics are efficiently absorbed and delivered to the target site. The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) provides quality standards for biologics to ensure their safety, efficacy, and quality throughout the manufacturing process. These standards assist manufacturers in adhering to regulatory requirements and help safeguard public health by reducing risks associated with biologics. |
