Product Description
GML (Glyceryl Monolaurate), also known as glycerol monolaurate, is a non-ionic emulsifier derived from lauric acid and glycerol. It is widely recognized for its dual functionality as both an emulsifier and a natural antimicrobial agent. With a moderate Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance (HLB) value (typically around 5-6), GML is particularly effective in stabilizing oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, depending on formulation requirements. Its safety profile is well-established, holding GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status for food applications and compliance with global regulatory standards.
Key Features
Emulsification: Stabilizes mixtures of immiscible liquids (e.g., oil and water) to create smooth, homogeneous products.
Antimicrobial Activity: Effective against Gram-positive bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria) and certain fungi, enhancing product preservation.
Heat Stability: Maintains functionality under high-temperature processing (e.g., baking, sterilization).
Natural Origin: Sourced from plant-based fatty acids (e.g., coconut oil), appealing to clean-label trends.
Biocompatibility: Safe for use in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
