MONOLAURIN Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Uses
glyceryl laurate is a coemulsifier for oil-in-water emulsions. It is also a super fattening agent that promotes absorption and has a bacteriostatic effect.
Uses
Monolaurin has antibacterial, antiviral, and other antimicrobial effects in vitro.
Definition
ChEBI: 1-monolauroylglycerol is a 1-monoglyceride with dodecanoyl (lauroyl) as the acyl group. It is a 1-monoglyceride and a dodecanoate ester.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Monolaurin (1-Lauroyl-rac-glycerol) is used as an antimicrobial agent in various formulas and microemulsions and as a methane mitigation agent in ruminants.
Synthesis
(1)Use lower alcohol Na or lower alcohol potassium as catalyst, lower alcohol ester of lauric acid and glycerol mixed according to the molar ratio of 3:1, under the condition of 150-170 vacuum reaction 20-40h to obtain glycerol ester of lauric acid crude product;
(2)Use 40-50% of the weight of the crude product of glycerol ester of fatty lauric acid, mass fraction of 4%-10% of the aqueous citric acid to wash fatty acid glycerol ester of crude product once, and then Add 30% -50% of the weight of crude glyceryl laurate 80-100 C hot water, stirred well, static stratification, separation of the upper layer of oil, and then 80-100 C hot water, water wash 3 times, heating and depressurization to remove water;
(3) in the temperature of 130-220 C, the vacuum degree of 0.1-150pa under the conditions of molecular distillation of the product of the said step (2) to get the product of the glyceryl laurate. Glyceryl laurate product.
