Glycerides, specifically C8-10 monoglycerides and diglycerides, are a class of emulsifiers derived from glycerol and fatty acids, primarily those with medium-chain lengths (C8 to C10). These compounds are characterized by their ability to stabilize emulsions, making them valuable in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations. Monoglycerides contain one fatty acid chain attached to glycerol, while diglycerides have two, which influences their emulsifying properties and solubility. They are typically colorless to pale yellow liquids or solids, with a mild odor. These glycerides are known for their low toxicity and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food products. Their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values make them effective in stabilizing oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions. Additionally, they can enhance the texture and shelf-life of products. Due to their emulsifying and stabilizing properties, C8-10 monoglycerides and diglycerides are widely used in various applications, including baked goods, dairy products, and personal care items.
