Glycerol Monostearate (E471)

Glycerol Monostearate Glycerol monostearate is an emulsifier derived from reacting glycerol with stearic acid, functioning as a surfactant that stabilizes oil-water interfaces. In the food industry, it prevents fat separation in emulsions, improves bread softness by complexing starch, and enhances aeration in whipped products while extending shelf life through moisture control and anti-staling effects.
