Polyglyceryl-3 Caprate is synthesized through esterification, involving the reaction of glycerin with capric acid. This process results in the formation of a polyglycerol ester. The esterification method refers to the esterification reaction of capric acid and glycerol, and the esterification reaction is promoted by a catalyst.Typically, three glycerin molecules react with one molecule of capric acid to produce Polyglyceryl-3 Caprate. The reaction is often catalyzed by acidic or basic conditions.
