Distilled Monoglyceride-DMG
Mar 09, 2020
Monoglyceride, namely monoacylglyceride (monoacyl glyceride,), is an important class of nonionic surfactants. It contains a lipophilic long-chain alkyl group and two hydrophilic hydroxyl groups, so it has good surface activity and can be used as an emulsifier in food, cosmetics, medicine and other fields. Recent studies have found that certain monoglycerides exhibit certain antibacterial properties, which makes the research and development of monoglycerides of important application value. For example, lauric acid monoglyceride has broad-spectrum antibacterial properties, high safety, stable performance, and strong surface activity. It has been industrialized in the United States, Germany, and Japan, and has been put on the market as a food preservative.
Monoglyceride is a non-ionic surfactant with excellent properties of emulsification, lubrication, softness and wetting, and is non-toxic. It is widely used as an emulsifier in food processing and cosmetics.
1. Used in food, monoglyceride is considered the safest food additive.
2. It is used as emulsifier for skin care cream, cold cream, emulsion, hair cream and other cosmetics and medical ointments, fiber finishing agent, antistatic agent for polyethylene, polypropylene, foamed polystyrene, etc.
3. The compound of glycerol monolaurate and sorbic acid can be used as preservatives in meat products, dairy products and beer, as well as fruit preservatives.
4. Glycerol monooleate is used as anti-rust lubricant for precision parts, food additives, etc. High purity monoglyceride can be used as internal lubricant in PVC plastic processing.
