Glyceryl Monostearate (GMS) is a widely used lipid-based pharmaceutical excipient and formulation aid. It is a glycerol ester of stearic acid and is valued for its emulsifying, stabilizing, lubricating, consistency-modifying, and matrix-forming properties.
Swapnroop Pharma manufactures and supplies Glyceryl Monostearate for pharmaceutical formulation and bulk excipient requirements, supporting pharmaceutical manufacturers, formulation developers, nutraceutical companies, and other customers requiring quality-controlled raw materials.
Glyceryl Monostearate is also known as Glycerol Monostearate, GMS, and Monostearin. Commercial GMS may contain predominantly glyceryl monostearate together with related glycerides, depending on the grade and manufacturing process.
As a pharmaceutical excipient, Glyceryl Monostearate can be used as an emulsifier, lubricant, stabilizer, consistency modifier, and lipid-based matrix-forming ingredient.
Glyceryl Monostearate is an ester of glycerol and stearic acid. It is generally supplied as a white to off-white waxy solid, powder, flakes, or beads, depending on the physical grade.
Its amphiphilic and lipidic characteristics make it useful in both solid and semisolid pharmaceutical formulation systems.
Key characteristics include:
Tablet and Capsule Manufacturing:
Glyceryl Monostearate can function as a lubricant and formulation aid during pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Topical Formulations:
It may be incorporated into creams, lotions, ointments, and other semisolid products to improve consistency and formulation stability.
Emulsion Systems:
GMS can be used as an emulsifying or co-emulsifying ingredient in suitable pharmaceutical formulations.
Modified-Release Formulations:
Its hydrophobic characteristics may be utilized in selected lipid-based matrix systems to influence drug-release characteristics.
Direct Compression:
Appropriate grades can be used as a formulation aid in selected direct-compression tablet systems.
Nutraceutical Formulations:
Suitable grades may also be used in nutritional and healthcare products requiring fatty-acid glycerides.
Quality control of Glyceryl Monostearate is performed according to the applicable grade and approved specification.
Typical analytical parameters may include:
Exact numerical limits are grade-dependent and should be confirmed against the applicable approved specification, pharmacopoeial requirement, and batch CoA.
