Product Application of Glyceryl monostearate CAS#31566-31-1
Glyceryl Monostearate is widely used as a food additive in baked goods such as bread, biscuits, pastries, as well as in cream, butter, and ice cream. It is also commonly used as an excipient in pharmaceutical ointments and as an ingredient in various personal care and daily chemical products.
In addition, Glyceryl Monostearate can act as a solvent and protective agent for oils and waxes. It is typically produced by esterifying glycerol with fatty acids, with stearic acid and palmitic acid being among the most commonly used fatty acid sources.
