Food Grade 90% Emulsifier Powder CAS 142-18-7 Gml-90 Glycerol Monolaurate

Glycerol Monolaurate is a fatty acid ester formed by the esterification of lauric acid and glycerol, which has good emulsifying, dispersing and stabilizing effects and is often used as a food additive, cosmetic raw material, pharmaceutical excipient, etc.

(1) Food industry: It is used as an emulsifier to evenly mix oil and water in food, prevent separation, improve the texture and taste of food, and is often used in cakes, bread, ice cream and other foods. It can also be used as a preservative to inhibit the growth of microorganisms in food and prolong the shelf life of food.

(1) Antibacterial and antiviral: It has inhibitory effects on a variety of bacteria, fungi and viruses. For example, it can inhibit Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, etc., and can also effectively fight against influenza viruses, herpes viruses, etc.

(2) Emulsification and dispersion: It has good emulsifying properties. It can reduce the surface tension at the oil - water interface, evenly disperse oil droplets in water, and form a stable emulsion. It is widely used in the emulsifying systems of the food, cosmetics and other industries.

(3) Moisturization and nourishment: When used in cosmetics, it can form a protective film on the skin surface to reduce water loss, play a role in moisturization and nourishment, and keep the skin soft and smooth.

(4) Metabolic regulation: In the human body, monolaurin can be metabolized into lauric acid and glycerol. Lauric acid has certain physiological activities and is helpful in regulating human metabolism, which may have a positive impact on cardiovascular health and other aspects.
