Introduction to Monoglycerides:
Monoglycerides are a type of natural emulsifier formed by combining a glycerol molecule with a fatty acid. These compounds naturally occur in the human body and certain foods and are industrially extracted from plant or animal sources.
The primary application of monoglycerides in the food industry is as stabilizers and texture improvers. They are used in bakery products, ice cream, margarine, cream, instant beverages, and other food formulations to increase volume, stabilize emulsions, and prevent fat separation.
