FlavScents AInsights Entry for PEG-10 Cocamine (CAS: 61791-14-8)

1. Identity & Chemical Information

Common Name(s): PEG-10 Cocamine
IUPAC Name: Not applicable (mixture)
CAS Number: 61791-14-8
FEMA Number: Not applicable
Other Identifiers: Not applicable
Molecular Formula and Molecular Weight: Not applicable (mixture)
Functional Groups and Structure–Odor Relevance: PEG-10 Cocamine is a mixture of polyethylene glycol ethers of coconut amine. The presence of the amine group contributes to its surfactant properties, which are relevant in formulations for its emulsifying and conditioning effects.

2. Sensory Profile

PEG-10 Cocamine is primarily used for its functional properties rather than its sensory characteristics. It does not have a significant odor or flavor profile that contributes to the sensory aspects of a product. Instead, its role is more focused on enhancing the texture and stability of formulations.

Citation hooks: FlavScents; peer-reviewed sensory literature

3. Natural Occurrence & Formation

PEG-10 Cocamine is a synthetic compound derived from the reaction of coconut fatty acids with polyethylene glycol. It does not occur naturally and is not typically associated with "natural flavor" or "natural fragrance" designations. The formation involves ethoxylation, a chemical process that adds ethylene oxide to fatty amines.

Citation hooks: FlavScents; food chemistry literature; EFSA/JECFA monographs

4. Use in Flavors

PEG-10 Cocamine is not commonly used as a flavoring agent due to its primary function as a surfactant. However, in flavor systems, it may be used to stabilize emulsions or enhance the solubility of flavor compounds. Typical use levels in food or beverage formulations are not well-documented, as its application is more prevalent in non-flavor roles.

5. Use in Fragrances

In fragrance formulations, PEG-10 Cocamine serves as an emulsifier and solubilizer, helping to blend oil and water phases and stabilize fragrance compounds. It is used across various fragrance families and product types, including lotions, creams, and sprays. Concentration ranges are typically low, as its primary function is structural rather than olfactory.

6. Regulatory Status (Regional Overview)

United States: Not specifically listed as GRAS by FEMA; used under general safety provisions.
European Union: Not specifically listed under Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 for flavor use.
United Kingdom: Follows EU regulations post-Brexit with no significant divergence reported.
Asia: Usage regulations vary; typically governed by general safety standards.
Latin America: Similar to the US, governed by general safety provisions without specific listings.

Citation hooks: FEMA; EFSA; national authority publications

7. Toxicology, Safety & Exposure Considerations

Oral Exposure: Limited data on oral toxicity; generally considered safe at low concentrations typical of its use.
Dermal Exposure: Low irritation potential; commonly used in personal care products.
Inhalation Exposure: Low volatility reduces inhalation risk; occupational exposure considerations are minimal.

Risk profiles do not significantly differ between food and fragrance applications, given its primary role as a surfactant.

Citation hooks: EFSA; FEMA; PubChem; toxicology literature

8. Practical Insights for Formulators

PEG-10 Cocamine is valued for its emulsifying and conditioning properties, making it a versatile ingredient in both personal care and industrial formulations. It synergizes well with other surfactants and can enhance the stability of complex formulations. Common pitfalls include overuse, which can lead to product instability or undesirable texture.

Citation hooks: FlavScents; industry practice

9. Confidence & Data Quality Notes

Data on PEG-10 Cocamine is well-established in terms of its functional properties and safety profile. However, specific sensory and flavor use data are limited, reflecting its primary role as a surfactant. Regulatory information is consistent across major regions, with no significant ambiguities noted.

About FlavScents AInsights (Disclosure)
FlavScents AInsights integrates information from authoritative government, scientific, academic, and industry sources to provide applied, exposure-aware insight into flavor and fragrance materials. Data are drawn from regulatory bodies, expert safety panels, peer-reviewed literature, public chemical databases, and long-standing professional practice within the flavor and fragrance community. Where explicit published values exist, they are reported directly; where gaps remain, AInsights reflects widely accepted industry-typical practice derived from convergent sensory behavior, historical commercial use, regulatory non-objection, and expert consensus. All such information is clearly labeled to distinguish documented data from professional guidance or informed estimation, with the goal of offering transparent, practical, and scientifically responsible context for researchers, formulators, and regulatory specialists. This section is generated using advanced computational language modeling to synthesize and structure information from established scientific and regulatory knowledge bases, with the intent of supporting—not replacing—expert review and judgment.
