GLYCERYL STEARATE (GLYCERYL MONOSTEARATE) is a mixture of monoacylgcerols, mostly monosteroylglycerol, together with quantities of di-and triacylglycerols.
In the Ph.Eur, Glyceryl monostearate is distinguished into different grades, namely Type I, II and III depending on their fatty acid composition.
When supplied as an excipient, Glyceryl monostearate occurs as a hard, waxy mass or greasy powder, flakes or beads.
APPLICATIONS IN PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS OR TECHNOLOGY:
Glyceryl monostearate is principally used as an emollient, mild emulsifying agent, solubilizing agent, stabilizing agent, and tablet and capsule lubricant.
Owing to its lipid nature as well as the availability of many different grades, Glyceryl monostearate exhibits thickening, emulsifying and protective properties, making it a versatile excipient across multiple applications and dosage forms.
A summary of the different applications of Glyceryl monostearate in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications is outlined below:
• Formulation stabilizer (for water-in-oil emulsions containing polar and nonpolar ingredients)
• Dispersant for pigments in oils or solids in fats
• Solvent and co-solvent for phospholipids, such as lecithin
• Hot melt granulation excipient
• Matrix former for sustained-release tablets
• Lubricant for tablets
• Suppository base
• Hydrophobic agent in tablet coatings (prevents tablet sticking)
Incidences of polymorph formation when Glyceryl monostearate is used in product formulation are an important consideration.
Generally, the α-form tends to disperse easily and foams, rendering it useful as an emulsifying agent.
The β-form, being more stable, is suitable for use in sustained-release matrices.
Note that Glyceryl monostearate is not an efficient emulsifier.
Its usefulness resides in the fact that it is a useful emollient and co-emulsifier.
It is readily emulsified by common emulsifying agents and by the incorporation of other fatty materials into the formulation.
When added to creams, Glyceryl monostearate imparts to creams smoothness, and fineness, while improving the formulation stability.
About Glyceryl Monostearate – Self-emulsifying
Self-emulsifying Glyceryl monostearate is a grade of Glyceryl monostearate to which an emulsifying agent has been added.
