glycerol monolaurate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Cream-colored paste; faint odor. Dispersible in water; soluble in methanol and ethanol, toluene, naphtha, mineral oil, cottonseed oil, ethyl acetate. Combustible.

Uses

Emulsifying and dispersing agent for food products, oils, waxes, and solvents; antifoaming agent; dry-cleaning soap base.

Uses

glycerol monolaurate is a monoglyceride emulsifier produced by the esterification of glycerin and lauric acid. It has a melting point of 56°c, a maximum iodine value of 0.5, and a saponification value of 200–206. In a highly purified form, it shows antimicrobial properties against microorganisms with the exception of gram-negative organisms. It is effective against gram-negative organisms when formulated with bha or edta. It is used in baked goods, whipped toppings, frosting, glazes, and cheese products.

Definition

ChEBI: 1-monolauroylglycerol is a 1-monoglyceride with dodecanoyl (lauroyl) as the acyl group. It is a 1-monoglyceride and a dodecanoate ester.
