Product Functional Category and Applications

1. GMS is a food additive used as a thickening agent, emulsifier, anti-blocking agent and preservative; an emulsifier for oil, wax and solvent; a protective coating for hygroscopic powder; a curing agent and controlled release agent in drugs; and a resin lubricant. It is also used in cosmetics and hair care products. As an emulsifier, the molecular distillation of monoglyceride product purity can reach 95%, which is very suitable for use as an emulsifier in ointment production, safe and efficient.
2. GMS is mainly used for baking preparation to add "connotation" to the food. It is somehow responsible for giving the ice cream and whipped cream a smooth texture. It is sometimes used as a preservative in the bread. Improve the flesh structure, delay hardening, extend the shelf life, reduce or inhibit the formation of foam in the production process of various foods, increase the volume, improve the qualitative structure, and extend the shelf life
3. GMS can be used as an additive in plastics, where GMS is used as an antistatic agent and anti-fog agent. This is very common in food packaging. With good lubrication effect, especially between the metal surface of the forming machinery and the resin, it can improve the production of the extrusion molding product and enhance the surface luster of the molding product.
