Masemul EPB-7014A is an emulsifier primarily used in the production of polymer blends, particularly in the plastics industry.
Masemul EPB-7014A is often applied to enhance the compatibility of different polymers in a blend, allowing them to mix more effectively, which improves the mechanical properties, stability, and processing characteristics of the final product.
This type of emulsifier typically plays a key role in applications like injection molding and extrusion, where consistency and material strength are essential.
Masemul EPB-7014A, commonly known as GMS, is a monoglyceride commonly used as an emulsifier in foods.
Masemul EPB-7014A takes the form of a white, odorless, and sweet-tasting flaky powder that is hygroscopic.
Chemically it is the glycerol ester of stearic acid. It is also used as hydration powder in exercise formulas
While the names Masemul EPB-7014A and mono- and diglycerides are used for a variety of esters of long-chain fatty acids, the esters fall into two distinct grades:
40–55 percent monoglycerides The PhEur 6.0 describes glyceryl monostearate 40–55 as a mixture of monoacylglycerols, mostly monostearoylglycerol, together with quantities of di- and triacylglycerols.
It contains 40–55% of monoacylglycerols, 30–45% of diacylglycerols, and 5–15% of triacylglycerols.
This PhEur grade corresponds to mono- and di-glycerides USP– NF, which has similar specifications (not less than 40% monoglycerides).
90 percent monoglycerides The USP32–NF27 describes Masemul EPB-7014A as consisting of not less than 90% of monoglycerides of saturated fatty acids, chiefly glyceryl monostearate (C21H42O4) and glyceryl monopalmitate (C19H38O4).
The commercial products are mixtures of variable proportions of glyceryl monostearate and glyceryl monopalmitate.
Glyceryl monostearate is a white to cream-colored, wax-like solid in the form of beads, flakes, or powder.
Masemul EPB-7014A is waxy to the touch and has a slight fatty odor and taste.
Masemul EPB-7014A is an emulsifier blend of non-GMO, no-partially-hydrogenated-oil palm-based mono- and diglycerides used in commercial ice cream stabilizers.
It is produced by Musim Mas and distributed exclusively by Brenntag North America.
The palm oil used to produce it is Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil certified.
Along with natural plant-derived ingredients such as guar gum, xanthan gum and carrageenan, stabilizers made with EPB-7014A enhance the ice cream texture and create a smoother mouthfeel.
The ingredient also helps emulsify fat and water and improves the ice cream’s stability.
Masemul EPB-7014A exists as three stereoisomers, the enantiomeric pair of 1-glycerol monostearate and 2-glycerol monostearate.
Typically these are encountered as a mixture as many of their properties are similar.

Masemul EPB-7014A is fat soluble and has a higher melting point than the fat blend in which it is used.
Masemul EPB-7014A is dissolved in the fat blend by heating 1 part of Glyceryl Monostearate NSE with 5 parts by 5-100C.
Masemul EPB-7014A can be also used in combination with soya lecithin.
The use of soya lecithin increases the solubility of Masemul EPB-7014A so if lecithin is used, it is added together with Glyceryl Monostearate NSE.
After complete melting and agitation, the solution mix is added to the remaining melted fat blend during agitation.
During emulsification the water droplets, which are formed when water is added to oil during agitation, will come in close contact with oil containing Masemul EPB-7014A.
This results in a coating of the water droplets with Masemul EPB-7014A.
During increased shear stress, particularly in the tube chiller, less energy is then required to divide the water droplets further and hence water dispersion is improved by using Masemul EPB-7014A.
Masemul EPB-7014A provides a smooth mouth-feel and improves spreading properties.
The water present in margarine tends to "Sweat out" after being packed and stored.
Masemul EPB-7014A emulsifies this water and stabilizes it in the fat of the margarine.
Because of homogeneous emulsion, Masemul EPB-7014A functions as anti-spattering agent during frying operation.
Masemul EPB-7014A can be added to crystalize part of the free oil during processing and thus prevent the oil and peanut fibres from separating during storage.
