Glyceryl Tristearate is an odourless, white powder. 
Glyceryl Tristearate is a triglyceride derived from three units of stearic acid. Most triglycerides are derived from at least two and more commonly three different fatty acids.Like other triglycerides, stearin can crystallise in three polymorphs. For stearin, these melt at 54 (α-form), 65, and 72.5 °C (β-form).

Occurrence:
Glyceryl Tristearate is obtained from animal fats created as a byproduct of processing beef. 
Glyceryl Tristearate can also be found in tropical plants such as palm. 
Glyceryl Tristearate can be partially purified by dry fractionation by pressing tallow or other fatty mixtures, leading to separation of the higher melting stearin-rich material from the liquid, which is typically enriched in fats derived from oleic acid. 
Glyceryl Tristearate can be obtained by interesterification, again exploiting its higher melting point which allows the higher melting tristearin to be removed from the equilibrated mixture. 
Glycerol Tristearate is a side product obtained during the extraction of cod liver oil removed during the chilling process at temperatures below −5 °C.
