Frequently Asked Questions
SOL Glycerol Monostearate-40 NSE is produced by esterifying glycerine with palm oil. It appears as white flakes or powder with a melting range of 50 to 60 degrees Celsius and is USP compliant.
The name reflects its minimum monoglyceride content of 40 percent, which is lower than that of a distilled monoglyceride. This makes it a non-self-emulsifying grade, generally requiring the presence of other emulsifiers or ingredients to fully develop emulsifying performance in a formulation.
No, its use extends well beyond food. Alongside functioning as an anti-staling and whipping agent in food products, it is also used in creams, lotions, and shampoo formulations, as well as a softener in textiles and a lubricant in plastics processing.
