Description
Glyceryl Monostearate (GMS), also known as E471, is a food-grade emulsifier widely used to improve emulsification, texture, stability, and processing performance in a variety of food applications. It effectively promotes the uniform dispersion of oil and water phases, enhances product consistency, and helps extend shelf life. Due to its excellent compatibility and functional properties, Glyceryl Monostearate is commonly used in bakery products, dairy products, confectionery, beverages, and nutritional formulations.
