Behenic
Acid Market: Introduction
·
Behenic acid, which is also known as docosanoic acid, is a
carboxylic acid. It is a saturated fatty acid with chemical formula of
C21H43COOH. Behenic acid had 22 carbon atom chains. Behenic acid consist of
white color powder or crystals. It has melting point and boiling point of 80°C
and 360°C, respectively.
·
Behenic acid is often used to give moisturizers and hair
conditioners their smoothing properties. It is also used in lubricating oils
and as a solvent evaporation retarder in paint removers. Behenic acid’s amide
is used as an anti-foaming agent in detergents, dripless candles, and floor
polishes.
·
Pracaxi oil, which is extracted from the seeds of Pentaclethra
macroloba, is a natural product with one of the highest concentrations of
behenic acid. Behenic acid is found in many foods including macadamia nut,
opium poppy, tamarind, and black elderberry.
Key
Drivers and Restraints of Global Behenic Acid Market
·
Behenic acid is extensively employed in cosmetics. As a fatty
acid, behenic acid plays an important role in providing a protective barrier
against the environment in order to maintain good skin quality. In skincare,
behenic acid has lubricant, emollient, and soothing properties. These help
restore the skin’s natural oils and improve the overall level of hydration.
Furthermore, this sebaceous fatty acid is favorably soluble against the skin’s
surface, making it a desirable ingredient to infuse into skincare formulas.
Thus, growth of the cosmetics industry across the globe is expected to drive
the global
behenic acid market during the forecast
period.
·
Behenic acid is also employed in detergents. It is used as an
anti-foaming agent in detergents. The detergents market is expected to expand
during the forecast period owing to the increase in demand for laundry cleaning
products.
·
Availability of substitutes is a major restraint of the global
behenic acid market. Behenic acid is a cholesterol-raising saturated fatty acid
in humans. Dietary behenic acid (22:0) is poorly absorbed because of its low
bioavailability compared to other fatty acids. Hence, it can be substituted by
monocarboxylic acid or derivatives, carboxylic acids, carboxylic acid
derivatives, organic oxide, etc.
