Introduction to Monoglyceride:
Monoglycerides are a type of natural emulsifier formed by combining one molecule of glycerol with one fatty acid. They are naturally present in the human body and certain foods, and are industrially extracted from plant or animal sources.
Monoglycerides are primarily used in the food industry to enhance texture, emulsion stability, and shelf life. They are common in bakery products, ice cream, margarine, cream, and powdered drinks to prevent fat separation and improve product consistency.
