GMO (Glycerol Monooleate)

What are they?

Glyceryl monooleate (GMO) is an emulsifier derived from edible fats and oils, designed to improve texture, stability, and shelf life in bakery products. It works by interacting with starch and protein components in dough, helping maintain structure during mixing and baking. The result? Softer crumb, better moisture retention, and consistent quality. 

GMO is commonly used in breads, rolls, cakes, and pastries where emulsification is key to achieving the desired texture and extending freshness. It’s a reliable ingredient for bakeries looking to optimize performance without compromising taste. 

Who uses them?

Glyceryl monooleate is widely used by: 

  • Industrial Bakeries – For yeast-raised breads, rolls, and specialty baked goods that require dough stability and softness. 
  • Foodservice and Retail Bakeries – Helps maintain consistent quality across multiple locations. 
  • Brands and Private Label Programs – Ideal for packaged bakery products that need extended shelf life and reliable performance.
