Tax included

Glycerol monostearate (GMS, 单硬脂酸甘油酯) is a food additive that serves various purposes in the food industry. It is a compound made up of glycerol (a sugar alcohol) and stearic acid (a fatty acid). GMS is known for its emulsifying, stabilizing, and thickening properties. 

Quantity

Emulsification: GMS is often used as an emulsifier, helping to combine ingredients that would normally not mix well, such as oil and water. It's used in products like salad dressings, mayonnaise, and creamy sauces to prevent separation and improve texture.

Texture Enhancement: In baked goods like bread, cakes, and pastries, GMS can improve the texture, crumb structure, and moisture retention. It helps create a softer and more tender texture in these products.

Stabilization: GMS can stabilize foams and whipped products, enhancing the volume and stability of products like whipped cream, meringues, and ice creams.

Ice Cream and Frozen Desserts: GMS can be used to prevent the formation of ice crystals in ice cream and frozen desserts, resulting in a smoother and creamier texture.

Reduced Fat Products: GMS can be used in reduced-fat or low-fat products to mimic some of the texture and mouthfeel lost when fat is reduced.

Cake Mixes: GMS can improve the quality of cake mixes by helping to disperse ingredients evenly and enhance the overall texture.

Beverages: It can be used to stabilize and emulsify flavor oils in beverages, helping to create a consistent flavor experience.

Candy and Confections: GMS can be used in some candies and confections to improve texture, prevent crystallization, and provide a smoother mouthfeel.
