Glycerol Monostearate powder Usage and Synthesis.

Glycerol monostearate is a widely used food additive, mainly used in the production and processing of food, medicine and plastics.

Its main function is to extend the shelf life of food, improve the quality of food, and improve the taste of food. Distilled glycerol monostearate is the active ingredient purified by molecular distillation technology, its emulsification capacity is 3-4 times higher than crude ester, and the addition of 0.05~2% can meet the processing needs of food and other products.

In addition, glyceryl monostearate can make the fat particles finer and more uniformly dispersed, reduce the defoaming effect of fats and oils, and slow down the aging of the cake and the decrease of taste.

Uses of Glycerol Monostearate powder.

This product is an emulsifier. In the application as food additives, it is most used in bread, cookies and pastries, followed by cream, butter and ice cream. It is used as excipient in pharmaceutical products for the preparation of neutral ointment; in daily chemicals, it is used for the preparation of snow cream, ice cream, Hargow oil, etc. It is also used as solvent for oils and waxes, absorbent for oils and waxes. Also used as a solvent for oils and waxes, hygroscopic powder protectant and opaque opacifier.

Glycerol and fatty acids react to produce glycerol fatty acid esters, mono-, di-, and tri-esters, and tri-esters are fats and oils with no emulsifying ability at all. Generally, the mixture of mono-ester and di-ester can be utilized, or distilled and refined to obtain a product with a mono-ester content of about 90%.

The fatty acids employed may be stearic acid, palmitic acid, myristic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and so on. However, in most cases a mixture of fatty acids with stearic acid as the main component is used.

Preparation of Glycerol Monostearate powder.

Product method of Bulk Glycerol Monostearate powder.

Obtained by esterifying glycerol with stearic acid. Stearic acid, glycerol and sodium hydroxide are added into the reaction pot, heated and melted with stirring on, and nitrogen gas is passed in. Heat and react at 185℃ for 7h, pH should be less than 5 at the end of reaction. cool down and discharge the material, get glycerol monostearate. Each ton of product consumption of stearin is greater than 82kg, glycerol (more than 95%) 235kg.
