Description

Glyceryl Monooleate is a versatile, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from glycerol and oleic acid. Its amphiphilic structure provides excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and conditioning properties, making it a critical additive for stabilizing complex formulations. This high-purity ingredient is essential for manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries seeking to improve product texture, stability, and performance.

Application

• Food Industry: Used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in baked goods, margarine, ice cream, and whipped toppings to improve texture and shelf life.
• Pharmaceuticals: Serves as a solubilizer, emulsifier, and bioavailability enhancer in topical creams, ointments, and oral dosage forms.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Acts as a skin-conditioning agent, emulsifier, and opacifier in lotions, creams, hair conditioners, and makeup products.
• Industrial Applications: Functions as an antistatic agent, lubricant, and mold release agent in plastics and polymer processing.
• Animal Feed: Employed as an emulsifier and energy source in feed pellets to improve fat absorption and nutritional value.
