Glycerol Monostearate (GMS)

Glycerol monostearate (GMS), known as E471, is a fat-based emulsifier formed from glycerol and stearic acid. It is commonly used in baking and pastry applications to improve dough workability and extend product freshness.

Benefits and Uses:

  • Improves dough texture, creating a smoother and more elastic consistency.

  • Increases volume, making bread fluffier and softer.

  • Delays staling, helping baked goods stay fresh for longer.

  • Supports fermentation by enhancing yeast performance.

  • Promotes the blending of fat and water, contributing to a moist and tender crumb.

GMS is used in bread, cakes and biscuits to enhance product quality, offering a natural alternative to synthetic additives.
