Monocaprin

Description:
Monocaprin, also known as glycerol monolaurate, is a monoester derived from glycerol and lauric acid. It is characterized by its fatty acid chain, which consists of 12 carbon atoms, making it a medium-chain fatty acid. Monocaprin is a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It exhibits emulsifying and surfactant properties, which makes it useful in various applications, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Monocaprin is recognized for its antimicrobial activity, particularly against certain bacteria and fungi, which has led to its exploration as a natural preservative. Additionally, it is considered safe for consumption and is often used in dietary supplements. Its unique properties stem from its ability to disrupt microbial membranes, making it a subject of interest in research related to food safety and health. Overall, monocaprin is valued for its functional characteristics and potential health benefits.
