Glyceryl Monostearate-GMS SE-40

Glycerol Monostearate, commonly known as GMS, is a monoglyceride and the glycerol ester of stearic acid. It appears as a white, odorless, sweet-tasting flaky powder with hygroscopic properties. GMS is widely used as an emulsifier in food products due to its excellent emulsifying ability and stability. Chemically it is the glycerol ester of stearic acid. It is also used as a hydration powder in exercise formulas.

Glycerol Monostearate is used in many personal care and cosmetics products. Glycerol Monostearate provides multiple benefits for the skin and hair.

Production

Glycerol Monostearate (GMS) is produced through the esterification reaction between stearic acid and glycerine. Stearic acid, a fatty acid derived from vegetable or animal fats such as coconut and palm oil, reacts with glycerine to form glyceryl stearate. This intermediate is further treated with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, resulting in a waxy solid substance known as Glycerol Monostearate.

Glyceryl Monostearate-GMS SE-40 Application

Emulsifier

Glyceryl Monostearate is primarily used as an emulsifier in food products, helping to blend ingredients like oil and water that would otherwise separate. It creates stable emulsions, ensuring smooth and consistent textures in products such as salad dressings, mayonnaise, and ice cream.
