Glycerol Monostearate

Glycerol Monostearate, CAS# 123-94-4, commonly known as GMS, is an organic molecule used as an emulsifier. GMS is a white, odorless, and sweet-tasting flaky powder that is hygroscopic. It is a glycerol ester of stearic acid. It occurs naturally in the body as a by-product of the breakdown of fats, and is also found in fatty foods.

Product Description

About Glycerol Monostearate

As a high quality and efficiency food emulsifier,it’s widely used as good emulsification,distribution, and stabilization in food. It has been used in the industry areas of food, medicine, household chemicals ,plastic, packaging and cosmetic etc., It is also a safe food additives which is completely non-toxic and harmless, and there is no restriction intake by the human body . DMG is the safety and high quality food additives.

Properties:

(1)Good Emulsifying, Dispersing, Stabilizing Properties

In the food processing oilwater separation often occurs, in order to improve product quality and prolong shelf life. Emulsifier is usually added during the procession, it will stabilize the mixed phase, and form a uniform emulsion. So that to avoid and prevent oilwater separation, stratification, precipitation happen in food and beverage.

(2)Starch Anti-Aging Effects

DMG can form complexes with protein and starch, and can form insoluble complexes with amylose starch to prevent the recrystallization after cooling to prevent the aging of starch retrogradation, making bread, cake, potato products and other starch-rich foods remain fresh and soft for a long time.

(3)To Improve The Fats Crystallization

Molecular distilled monoglycerides can orient in the surface of greese, control and stabilize greese crystallizing, especially in margarine, shortening and other oils and fats products,. It can also improve the plasticity and ductility to prevent the condensate layer and so on.
