Glycerol Monotearate (GMS SE) (E-471) (CAS NO : 31566-31-1)

GMS (Standard) is a pure co-emulsifier that requires an additional surfactant to create a stable emulsion. GMS SE (Self-Emulsifying) contains a built-in emulsifying agent (typically a small amount of sodium/potassium soap), allowing it to mix with water and form stable emulsions on its own without extra additives.

Yes. Our Glycerol Monostearate SE (E-471) is specifically manufactured to meet food-grade purity standards. It carries the E-471 designation, confirming it as a safe additive for use in the food and beverage industry, unlike our cosmetic-grade versions which are optimized for topical use.

The Self-Emulsifying (SE) grade simplifies your production process. It disperses more easily in hot water or oil phases, ensuring a more uniform texture and better stability in products like bread, ice cream, and margarine compared to standard GMS. 4. Is thi

No. While they share the same base chemistry, Glycerol Monostearate SE (E-471) undergoes stricter quality control and testing for heavy metals and impurities to ensure it is safe for ingestion. Always use the E-471 labelled product for any food or nutraceutical application.

Bakery: Acts as an anti-staling agent to keep bread softer for longer. Dairy: Prevents the formation of large ice crystals in ice cream for a smoother mouthfeel. Confectionery: Helps in the uniform distribution of fats and prevents "fat bloom" in chocolates.
