2-Monostearin

Description:

2-Monostearin, also known as glyceryl monostearate, is a glycerol ester of stearic acid, classified as a monoacylglycerol. It is a white to off-white, waxy solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform, but only slightly soluble in water. This compound is commonly used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickening agent in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals due to its ability to improve texture and enhance the stability of emulsions. 2-Monostearin exhibits surfactant properties, allowing it to reduce surface tension between different phases, which is particularly useful in formulations that require uniform dispersion of ingredients. Additionally, it is recognized for its potential health benefits, including its role in lipid metabolism. The substance is generally regarded as safe for consumption and use in various applications, although it is essential to adhere to regulatory guidelines regarding its concentration and usage. Overall, 2-Monostearin is valued for its functional properties and versatility across multiple industries.
