Monolaurin (abbreviated GML; also called glycerol monolaurate, glyceryl laurate, and 1-lauroyl-glycerol) is a monoglyceride. It is the mono- ester formed from glycerol and lauric acid . Its chemical formula is C 15 H 30 O 4 .
Sorbitan monolaurate – emulsifier; Sorbitan monooleate – emulsifier; Sorbitan monopalmitate – emulsifier; Sorbitan monostearate – emulsifier; Sorbitan tristearate – emulsifier; Sorbitol – humectant, emulsifier, sweetener; Sorbol – Sorrel (Rumex spp.) – Soybean oil – accounts for about half of worldwide edible oil production.
Monoglycerides and diglycerides are types of glycerides both naturally present in food fats, [2] including various seed oils; [3] however, their concentration is usually low and industrial production is primarily achieved by a glycerolysis reaction between triglycerides (fats/oils) and glycerol, [4] followed by purification via solvent-free molecular distillation.
Glycerol monostearate, commonly known as GMS, is a monoglyceride commonly used as an emulsifier in foods. [3] It takes the form of a white, odorless, and sweet-tasting flaky powder that is hygroscopic. Chemically it is the glycerol ester of stearic acid. It is also used as hydration powder in exercise formulas
Triglyceride 3 NaOH / H 2 O Δ 3 × soap 3 × glycerol Triglycerides can be saponified with sodium hydroxide to give glycerol and fatty sodium salt or soap. Typical plant sources include soybeans or palm. Animal-derived tallow is another source. From 2000 to 2004, approximately 950,000 tons per year were produced in the United States and Europe; 350,000 tons of glycerol were produced in the U ...
The term refers almost exclusively to the transesterification reaction of glycerol with triglycerides (fats/oils) to form mixtures of monoglycerides and diglycerides. These find a variety of uses; as food emulsifiers (e.g. E471 ), 'low fat' cooking oils (e.g. diacylglycerol oil ) and surfactants (such as monolaurin ).
