1. Нe use of mono- and diacylglycerols as non-ionic emulsLfiers inthe food and pharmaceutical industries and as synthetic chemicalintermediates has been a growing research area in recent years[14,40]. Furthermore, they have a generally recognized as safestatus, which contributes to their larger application.2. Mono- and diglycerides are consumed at an annual level of85,000,000 kg in the United States, corresponding roughly to 70%of the total emulsLfiers used in the food industry [28,41].3. Нe antimicrobial activities of particular types of monoglyceridessuch as monolaurin, monomyristin, monolinolein, andmonolinolenin have also been reported [42].4. Monoglycerides, the glycerol monoesters of fatty acids, aremolecules consisting of a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tailthat helps hydrophilic and lipophilic substances to mix together.Нerefore, they can be used in food, detergent, plasticizer,cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations [5,7]. MGs can besynthesized from glycerol using TG, FA or FAME. However, theprocess from FAME has several advantages, e.g., FAME is lesscorrosive than FA, has lower hydrophobic character than TG andexhibits higher miscibility with glycerol; therefore, the processcan be carried out at lower temperatures (120-230°C) than TGtrans-esterLficatLon (≈260°C)
