Product Introduction
Distilled Monoglycerides, commonly abbreviated as DMG and also known as Glycerol Monostearate 90 or GMS90, are efficient non-ionic food emulsifiers produced from glycerol and edible fatty acids. DMG is classified as food additive E471.
The product is generally supplied as an ivory-white powder, granules or white beads. It is insoluble in cold water, dispersible in hot water under strong mixing, and soluble in hot oils, fats and certain organic solvents. Its HLB value is approximately 3.8-5.3, making it particularly suitable for fat-containing food systems. WEHENGFOOD is a professional Distilled Monoglycerides manufacturer in China, as well as an experienced DMG supplier and exporter from China. We supply food-grade DMG for bakery products, ice cream, dairy beverages, margarine, shortening, confectionery, chocolate and other processed foods.
Our GMS90 grade contains at least 90% total monoglycerides. According to the supplied batch COA, the tested total monoglyceride content reached 97.32%.

Functions of Distilled Monoglycerides
DMG is a multifunctional food emulsifier offering the following functions:
- Emulsification: Helps oil and water phases form a uniform and stable emulsion.
- Stabilization: Reduces oil separation, sedimentation and product stratification in food and beverage systems.
- Dispersion: Improves the uniform distribution of fats and other ingredients throughout the formulation.
- Starch anti-aging: Forms complexes with starch to slow starch retrogradation and help bakery products remain soft for longer.
- Protein interaction: Helps stabilize systems containing both protein and fat, particularly dairy and plant-based beverages.
- Fat crystallization control: Regulates fat crystallization and improves the consistency and plasticity of margarine, shortening and cream products.
- Aeration and foam control: Provides foaming or defoaming effects depending on the formulation and processing conditions.
- Texture improvement: Improves softness, mouthfeel, structure, volume and overall product quality.
Applications of DMG
Ice Cream and Frozen Desserts
DMG helps prevent the formation of large ice crystals and creates a fine, uniform internal structure. It improves overrun, shape retention, melting resistance and smooth mouthfeel.
Bakery Products
In bread, cakes, biscuits and other baked foods, DMG forms complexes with starch and protein. It can increase bread volume, improve crumb structure, keep products soft and delay starch retrogradation.
DMG may be mixed directly with flour or pre-dispersed before being added to the formulation.
Dairy and Plant-Based Beverages
DMG improves the stability of beverages containing fat and protein. It helps prevent sedimentation, creaming and phase separation in dairy drinks, soy beverages, oat beverages, creamers and similar products.
Margarine, Shortening and Cream
DMG helps control and stabilize fat crystallization. It improves plasticity and consistency while reducing oil-water separation in margarine, shortening, whipping cream and powdered fat products.
Confectionery and Chocolate
In candy and chocolate production, DMG promotes the uniform mixing of sugar and fat ingredients. It helps reduce fat separation, granulation, surface streaking and other texture defects.
Sauces and Fat-Based Foods
DMG can be used in sauces, fillings and other oil-containing products to improve emulsification, consistency and storage stability.
