Glyceryl monostearate has 2 kinds products,according to the monoester content, one is GMS40,the monoester content is 40% Min.; Another one is GMS90, the mono ester content is 90% Min., and we called it as distilled monoglyceride.
How much is the application of DMG in food industry? 70% of the total food emulsifiers used in the world are monoglycerides.
Mono and diglycerides, also called mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, saturated or unsaturated, are a mixture of monoglycerides (commonly with 40-90%) and diglycerides, and also includes minor amounts of triglycerides. It is the most used emulsifier in the food and with the European food additive number E471.
