Distilled Glycerol Monostearate CAS NO 123-94-4 E471 for Margarine and Butter

1.Physical and Chemical character:

Distilled Glycerol Monostearate (monoglyceride) is a white waxy flake or bead solid, insoluble in water, and can be dispersed in water by vigorous shaking and mixing with hot water. It is a water-in-oil emulsifier. Soluble in hot organic solvents ethanol, benzene, acetone and mineral oil and fixed oil. The freezing point is not lower than 54℃. According to Bite Chemical, which supplies glycerol monostearate, Glycerol monostearate has a wide range of uses, especially in the field of food, where glycerol monostearate is often added to margarine and butter.
Here's how Distilled Glycerol Monostearate works in margarine and butter:
Margarine: Margarine is divided into four types according to its shape: hard, soft, liquid and powder. According to its use, it is divided into two types: household use and food industry use. The former is divided into meal use, bread spread, cooking and ice cream production. The latter is divided into bakery, pastry and pies. The main difference is the formula, the raw oil used and the modification requirements. Glyceryl monostearate forms emulsions by reducing interfacial tension and making the water and oil phases easier to mix, making margarine emulsions more stable and avoiding the "gritty feel" caused by emulsion stability and crystallization transformation. Margarine quality has declined.
Butter: Butter, also known as butterfat and butter, is made by separating the cream and skim milk in the milk, making the cream mature and stirring. The biggest difference between butter and cream is the ingredients, butter is higher in fat. The high-quality butter is light yellow in color, uniform and delicate in texture, without moisture oozing out of the cut surface, and has a fragrant smell. Glyceryl monostearate is also widely used in butter, which can increase the plasticity and emulsion stability of the product and improve the taste and flavor of the product. The general usage is 0.2%~0.4%
