Glyceryl Monooleate

White Waxy Solid

glyceryl oleate is an emollient and stabilizer derived from olive oil. It is a water-in-oil emulsifier that allows for softer emulsions than glyceryl stearate.

Monoglycerides fatty acid esters 93% 1-Oleoyl, 7% 2-oleoyl.

Glyceryl Monooleate is a flavoring agent that is prepared by esterification of commercial oleic acid that is derived either from edible sources or from tall oil fatty acids. It contains and glyceryl esters of fatty acids present in commercial oleic acid. The ingredient is also used as an adjuvant and as a solvent and vehicle.

Glyceryl Monooleate is produced by esterification of Glycerin with Oleic acid in presence of a suitable catalyst.

ChEBI: A 1-monoglyceride where the acyl group is oleoyl.

1-Oleoyl-rac-glycerol is commonly known as monoolein (MO). It is an amphiphilic molecule that is made up of a glycerol backbone and a hydrocarbon chain.

1-Oleoyl-rac-glycerol shows both inhibition and anti-inhibition action on the lipoprotein lipase mediated triglyceride hydrolysis.
