Product Description
Glyceryl Monostearate (GMS) is a non-ionic, food-grade emulsifier derived from the esterification of glycerol and stearic acid (typically sourced from vegetable oils). As a versatile amphiphilic compound, GMS stabilizes both oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions and is widely used in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. It is prized for its ability to improve texture, extend shelf life, and enhance sensory properties. GMS complies with FDA GRAS, EFSA, EU food additive (E471), and halal/kosher certifications.
Key Features
Dual Emulsification: Balances hydrophilic and lipophilic properties (HLB ~3-4), ideal for stabilizing W/O systems.
Texture Enhancement: Creates smooth, creamy textures in food and cosmetic formulations.
Anti-Staling: Delays starch retrogradation in baked goods, maintaining softness.
Heat Resistance: Stable in high-temperature processes like baking and frying.
Natural Origin: Plant-based and non-GMO, aligning with clean-label trends.
