Product Description

Product Description

GML (Glyceryl Monolaurate), also known as glycerol monolaurate, is a non-ionic emulsifier derived from lauric acid and glycerol. It is widely recognized for its dual functionality as both an emulsifier and a natural antimicrobial agent. With a moderate Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance (HLB) value (typically around 5-6), GML is particularly effective in stabilizing oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, depending on formulation requirements. Its safety profile is well-established, holding GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status for food applications and compliance with global regulatory standards.

Key Features

Emulsification: Stabilizes mixtures of immiscible liquids (e.g., oil and water) to create smooth, homogeneous products.
Antimicrobial Activity: Effective against Gram-positive bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria) and certain fungi, enhancing product preservation.
Heat Stability: Maintains functionality under high-temperature processing (e.g., baking, sterilization).
Natural Origin: Sourced from plant-based fatty acids (e.g., coconut oil), appealing to clean-label trends.
Biocompatibility: Safe for use in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Product Application

Food Industry

Bakery Products: Improves dough elasticity, extends freshness, and prevents starch retrogradation in bread and cakes.
Dairy & Beverages: Enhances texture in whipped creams, ice creams, and plant-based milk alternatives.
Processed Meats: Acts as a fat stabilizer in sausages and patties while inhibiting microbial growth.
Preservative: Extends shelf life in ready-to-eat meals and sauces by suppressing spoilage bacteria.

Cosmetics & Personal Care

Creams & Lotions: Stabilizes emulsions in moisturizers, sunscreens, and serums for a non-greasy feel.
Antimicrobial Formulations: Used in deodorants, cleansers, and acne treatments to reduce pathogen growth.
Natural Products: Aligns with "preservative-free" claims due to its mild yet effective antimicrobial properties.

Pharmaceuticals

Drug Delivery: Enhances bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs via emulsification.
Topical Formulations: Serves as a base for ointments and gels, improving skin absorption. 

Animal Feed

Feed Additive: Improves nutrient absorption in livestock and acts as a natural alternative to antibiotics.
