Uses

glyceryl laurate is a coemulsifier for oil-in-water emulsions. It is also a super fattening agent that promotes absorption and has a bacteriostatic effect.

Uses

Monolaurin has antibacterial, antiviral, and other antimicrobial effects in vitro.

Definition

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

Synthesis Reference(s)

Synthetic Communications, 19, p. 2505, 1989 DOI: 10.1080/00397918908052653
