Fatty acid esters oflycol (1, 2-propanediol) have been known to the food industry for about 40 years. The specific crystalline properties of distilled glycol monostearate (PGMS) and its ability to stabilize the meta-stable α-crystal form of distilled monoglycerides are beneficial in many aerated products, such as non-dairy desserts, whipping creams, powdered toppings and cake emulsifiers. glycol fatty acid esters are lipophilic, oil-soluble emulsifiers with specific crystalline properties. Industrial production of glycol fatty acid esters can take place via the esterification of glycol with fatty acids, typically in the form of commercial stearic acid blends. The use of glycol esters of fatty acids in foods, as with all other food emulsifiers, is controlled by health authorities. Outside the food industry, PGMS is found in many cosmetic applications, including creams and lotions.
