Does monoglyceride monostearate play a big role in the production of soy products?

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 soy products are often added monostearate glycerides.

Glyceryl monostearate can play the following role in the production of soy products:

During the production process of soy products, the foam affects the yield and quality of the product and hinders the production operation.

The addition of soybean weight 0.2%-0.3% monostearate glycerides can not only not effectively eliminate foam, is conducive to the separation of okara, prevent overflow, but also can improve the yield of tofu by 9%-13%, improve the quality of tofu, so that the processed tofu has good water retention, elasticity, delicate texture, not easy to break, good taste.
