glyceryl monostearate appears as white waxy flakes or solid beads , insoluble in water, can be dispersed in water by strong shaking with hot water, and is a water-in-oil emulsifier. soluble in hot organic solvents ethanol, benzene, acetone, mineral oil and fixed oil. the freezing point is not lower than 54℃.
the supply of glyceryl monostearate points out: glyceryl monostearate is widely used in food, as follows:
used candy and chocolate: it can prevent the separation of oil and fat in toffee and toffee; prevent the crystallization of chocolate sugar and the separation of oil and water, and increase the delicate feeling. the reference dosage is 0.2%~0.5%.
used in ice cream: it can make the tissue mix evenly, make the tissue delicate and smooth, increase the puffing activity, and improve the shape retention.
used in margarine: it can prevent oil-water separation and stratification and improve the quality of the product.
used in beverages: added to fat-containing protein drinks, it can improve the stability and prevent oil from floating and protein from sinking. it can also be used as a stabilizer in emulsified flavors.
used for bread: it can improve the dough structure, prevent bread from aging, make bread soft, increase in volume, be elastic, and extend shelf life.
used in pastries: it is compatible with other emulsifiers and used as a foaming agent for pastries. it forms a complex with protein to produce a moderate bubble film and increase the volume of the pastries.
