Glyceryl Monooleate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White Waxy Solid

Uses

Monoglycerides fatty acid esters 93% 1-Oleoyl, 7% 2-oleoyl.

Uses

glyceryl oleate is an emollient and stabilizer derived from olive oil. It is a water-in-oil emulsifier that allows for softer emulsions than glyceryl stearate.

Uses

Glyceryl Monooleate is a flavoring agent that is prepared by esterification of commercial oleic acid that is derived either from edible sources or from tall oil fatty acids. It contains and glyceryl esters of fatty acids present in commercial oleic acid. The ingredient is also used as an adjuvant and as a solvent and vehicle.

Definition

ChEBI: A 1-monoglyceride where the acyl group is oleoyl.

Preparation

Glyceryl Monooleate is produced by esterification of Glycerin with Oleic acid in presence of a suitable catalyst.

General Description

1-Oleoyl-rac-glycerol is commonly known as monoolein (MO). It is an amphiphilic molecule that is made up of a glycerol backbone and a hydrocarbon chain.

Biochem/physiol Actions

1-Oleoyl-rac-glycerol shows both inhibition and anti-inhibition action on the lipoprotein lipase mediated triglyceride hydrolysis.
