Is it good to add monostearate glycerides to margarine and butter?

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 margarine and butter are often added monostearate glycerides.

The following are the roles of glyceryl monostearate in margarine and butter:

Margarine: Margarine is divided into four types according to its shape: hard, soft, liquid and powder. According to its use, it is divided into two types for household use and food industry, the former is divided into meals, bread spreading, cooking and making ice cream. The latter is divided into bread and pastries, puff pastry and pie. The main differences are the formulation, the raw oils used and the requirements for modification. Monoglyceryl stearate forms an emulsion by reducing the interfacial tension so that the aqueous and oil phases are easy to mix, making the margarine emulsion more stable and avoiding the loss of margarine quality due to the stability of the emulsion and the "sand texture" caused by crystal conversion.

Butter: Butter, also known as milk fat, butter, is made by separating the cream and skimmed milk in milk, so that the cream matures and is stirred. The biggest difference between butter and cream is the composition, butter has a higher fat content. The high-quality butter is light yellow in color, uniform and delicate in texture, no moisture oozing from the cut surface, and the smell is fragrant. Butter is also used in large quantities of monostearate glycerides, which can increase the plasticity and emulsification stability of the product after addition, and improve the taste and flavor of the product. The general dosage is 0.2% to 0.4%.
