Glyceryl Monostearate (GMS)
Glyceryl Monostearate (GMS) is a widely used food emulsifier derived from glycerol and stearic acid. It belongs to the mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471) group and is valued for its ability to stabilize emulsions, improve texture, and enhance product consistency without affecting taste.
GMS is cost-effective, process-stable, and compatible with a wide range of fat-based food systems, making it a standard ingredient in many industrial formulations.
