Description

Glycerides, Lard Mono- is a specific class of monoglycerides derived from lard, characterized by its CAS Registry Number 61789-10-4. This compound serves as a versatile, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier, crucial for stabilizing mixtures of oil and water. It is an essential ingredient for manufacturers in the food, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries seeking natural-origin, functional additives for product formulation and texture enhancement.

Application

• Food Industry: Used as an emulsifier in baked goods, margarines, and whipped toppings to improve texture, volume, and shelf life.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a skin-conditioning agent, emulsifier, and opacifier in creams, lotions, and soaps.
• Pharmaceuticals: Employed as an excipient in topical ointments and creams for its emulsifying and stabilizing properties.
• Industrial Applications: Functions as a lubricant, anti-static agent, or processing aid in various chemical and plastic formulations.
• Animal Feed: Utilized as an energy-dense additive and pellet binder in feed production.
