Glyceryl monostearate is a basic, multifunctional, and highly safe nonionic emulsifier. It is widely used in the food industry (especially in baking, ice cream, dairy products, and confectionery), primarily playing key roles in emulsification, stabilization, texture improvement, aging retardation, volume increase, and lubrication. It is also an indispensable raw material in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and plastics industries. Our company offers GMS-40 and GMS-95 specifications.
