MONSA® GMS-40

INCI name: Glycerol Monosatearate

MONSA®GMS-40 is a polyol-type nonionic surfactant with a lipophilic long-chain alkyl group and two hydrophilic hydroxyl groups, so it has good surface activities such as emulsification, foaming, dispersion, defoaming, and anti-starch aging. It is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and detergent industries as an emulsifier.

Glycerol Monostearate demonstrates hydrophobic properties, being water-insoluble but readily soluble in hot fats, paraffin, alcohol, chloroform, acetone, and diethyl ether. As a food additive, it serves multiple roles, including thickening, emulsification, anti-caking, and preservation. It is also instrumental in achieving the creamy smoothness of ice cream and whipped cream, and occasionally, it is employed as an anti-staling agent in bread-making. In the pharmaceutical industry, Glycerol Monostearate is utilized as a solidifying agent for products and a control release substance, as well as a lubricant for resins.
