Glyceryl monostearate (monoglyceride) is white waxy It is a flake or bead solid, insoluble in water, and can be dispersed in water by strong shaking with hot water. It is a water-in-oil emulsifier. Soluble in hot organic solvents ethanol, benzene, acetone, mineral oil and fixed oil. The freezing point is not lower than 54℃. According to the supply of glyceryl monostearate, glyceryl monostearate is widely used, especially in the food field. Glyceryl monostearate is often added in various candy making.
The following is the role of glyceryl monostearate in the production of various types of candy:
During the production process of toffee, adding glyceryl monostearate not only allows sugar and fat raw materials to be quickly and evenly mixed, but also does not separate after cooling, thereby preventing the occurrence of quality problems such as streaking, granulation, and oil leakage. Since fatty ingredients cannot penetrate into the surface of the candies, the candies can be kept fresh and tasteless. In addition, it can suppress foam and prevent sticking when boiling sugar, thereby improving production efficiency. At the same time, it can also prevent products from sticking, adhesion, and deformation, and improve the moisture resistance of products. The general usage amount is 0.3%-0.5%.
In soft candies such as glutinous rice candy and caramel candy, they are prone to aging because they contain a large amount of starch. Adding glyceryl monostearate can effectively prevent aging, and can also reduce the viscosity when boiling sugar and prevent it from sticking to teeth when eating.
