The invention discloses a preparation method of
propylene glycol monosaturated
fatty acid ester with a
pH buffering function, which comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing liquid
saturated fatty acid with
propylene glycol, then adding a compound catalyst, reacting at 110-180 DEG C for 3-8 hours, and after the reaction reaches the end point, dehydrating to obtain the
propylene glycol monosaturated
fatty acid ester, the compound catalyst is a mixed
aqueous solution of inorganic acid and
hydroxide. According to the method,
saturated fatty acid and propylene glycol are taken as main raw materials, a compound catalyst is added, and high-efficiency esterification synthesis is realized under certain
reaction conditions. The prepared propylene glycol monosaturated
fatty acid ester is good in color and luster, not only has good emulsifying performance, but also has an excellent
pH buffering function, can maintain the stability of a
system when an acid-base environment changes, and widens the application range of the propylene glycol monosaturated
fatty acid ester in the fields of foods,
cosmetics, medicines and the like. The method is simple in process, high in reaction efficiency, good in product
chromaticity and
environmentally friendly.
