GLYCEROL MONOOLEATE
Monooleoylglycerol, also known as glyceryl 1-oleate, glycerylmonooleate or 1-monoolein (CAS Number: 111-60-4), is classified as a member of the 1-monoacylglycerols. 1-Monoacylglycerols are monoacylglycerols containing a glycerol acylated at the 1-position. Glycerolmonooleate is considered to be practically insoluble (in water) and relatively neutral. Glycerolmonooleate is an yellow to amber liquid at room temperature, biodegradable and can be used as a water-in-oil emulsifier, pigment dispersant, lubricant, and spreading agent.

Glycerol esters (glycerol mono/di/tri stearate, oleate, laurate) are emulsifiers and stabilizers used in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. They help create stable emulsions, improve texture, and provide various functional properties.
Glycerol monostearate (GMS) has one fatty acid chain and is an excellent emulsifier. Glycerol distearate has two chains and provides better stability. Glycerol tristearate has three chains and acts more as a thickener. The choice depends on your emulsification needs.
Yes, glycerol esters are approved food additives (E471) and are widely used in food products as emulsifiers and stabilizers. They are safe for consumption and meet food-grade quality standards.
