Common NameGlycerol 1-monostearate
DescriptionGlycerol 1-monostearate (GMS) is a member of the chemical class known as Monoacylglycerols. These are glycerides consisting of one fatty acid chain covalently bonded to a glycerol molecule through an ester linkage. It is an organic molecule used as an emulsifier. GMS is a colorless, odorless, and sweet-tasting flaky powder that is hygroscopic. It is a glycerol ester of stearic acid. GMS is a food additive used as a thickening, emulsifying, anti-caking, and preservative agent; an emulsifying agent for oils, waxes, and solvents; a protective coating for hygroscopic powders; a solidifier and control release agent in pharmaceuticals; and a resin lubricant. It is also used in cosmetics and hair care products. GMS is largely used in baking preparations to add "body" to the food.
