So, what is glyceryl monooleate?

Glyceryl monooleate is a food ingredient that serves as an emulsifier and stabilizer in a wide range of products, including margarine, salad dressings, and baked goods. It is derived from natural sources such as olive oil, and is commonly used in the food industry due to its ability to improve the texture and consistency of food products. This ingredient helps to prevent separation between ingredients that would otherwise occur, resulting in a smooth and uniform product. Glyceryl monooleate is generally considered safe for consumption in moderate amounts and is a popular choice for manufacturers seeking a natural and effective emulsifying agent.
