GMS 40/90

Glyceryl monostearate, commonly known as GMS, is an organic molecule used as an emulsifier with anti-retrogradation and preservative properties. GMS is a fine white, odorless, and sweet-tasting powder that naturally occurs in the body as a byproduct of fat breakdown and is also found in fatty foods.

Glyceryl monostearate is a food additive used as a thickening agent, emulsifier, anti-caking agent, and preservative. It serves as an emulsifying agent for oils, waxes, and solvents, a protective coating for hygroscopic powders, a release and controlled-dispersion agent in pharmaceuticals, a resin lubricant, and is also used in cosmetic and personal care industries. GMS is derived from glycerol.
