Glyceryl monostearate (monoglyceride) is a white waxy flake or bead solid, insoluble in water, mixed with hot water by strong oscillation can be dispersed in water, is an oil-in-water emulsifier. Soluble in hot organic solvents ethanol, benzene, acetone, as well as mineral and stationary oils. The freezing point is not less than 54 ° C. According to the supply of monostearate glycerides Beite Chemical understands: monostearate glycerides are very widely used, especially in the food field, in the biscuit making process is often added monostearate glycerides.
The role and dosage of glyceryl monostearate in the production of biscuits is as follows:
Adding a single glyceride to the biscuit can make the grease and other added materials dispersed evenly in the dough and evenly emulsified, improve the looseness of the dough, adjust the swelling performance of the dough, and improve the taste and quality of the biscuit. At the same time, the gelatinization of the flour is reduced, the viscosity of the dough is reduced, and it is convenient to release the mold after molding.
The amount of addition varies with the type of biscuit, usually 0.3%-0.7% of the weight of the flour, for crispy biscuits with more oil, such as cream cookies, in order to prevent the oozing of grease, improve crispness, water retention and anti-aging performance, reduce damage in storage, transportation, sales, the upper limit of the amount of disposable.
