Products Description

Product Introduction
Glycerol Monolaurate(GML), also known as Glycerol Laurate, is a lipophilic non-ionic surfactant. It is a compound found naturally in some plants. After extraction, it is often added to food, daily necessities, or cosmetics as an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent.
Glycerol Monolaurate Glycerol Laurate E471 (GML) CAS No.:142-18-7 has the molecular formula of C15H30O4 and a melting point of 63ºC. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder. It is not only an excellent emulsifier, but also a bacteriostatic agent that has a strong effect on common bacteria, molds, and yeasts in food, and also has the effect of inhibiting various viruses and protozoa. And the effect will not be affected by the pH value, so it is widely used in the preservation of food, which can significantly prolong the shelf life of food.

Product Application Instructions
Application
Below are some applications and descriptions of this product

Agriculture and feed
Animal Feed additives:
By inhibiting intestinal harmful bacteria (such as salmonella), improve the intestinal health of poultry and aquatic animals and reduce the use of antibiotics.
Plant preservation:
Spray on the surface of fruits and vegetables to delay corruption and reduce transportation losses.

Food industry
Natural preservatives: GML has a significant inhibitory effect on Gram-positive bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus, listeria) and some fungi, which can extend the shelf life of food. For example:
Dairy products: inhibit the growth of spoilage bacteria in cheese and yogurt.
Baked goods: Prevent mold growth and replace some chemical preservatives.
Meat products: Delay oxidation rancidity, maintain flavor.
Emulsifying stabilizer: Used in ice cream, margarine, etc., to stabilize oil-water mixing system and improve texture.
Regulations and safety: In line with FDA GRAS certification and EU E471 standard, the addition amount is usually 0.1%~0.5%.

Medicine and Health
Antiviral and antibacterial agents; GML can disrupt viral envelopes (e.g., influenza virus, herpes virus HSV) and bacterial cell membranes. Potential applications include:
Antiviral drugs: as an auxiliary ingredient to inhibit virus transmission.
Topical preparations: used to treat skin infections (e.g., acne, fungal infections).
Medical device coating: reduce biofilm formation and prevent nosocomial infection.
Immunomodulatory: Studies have shown that it can enhance immunity by regulating gut flora, used in functional foods or dietary supplements.
