Propylene Glycol Monostearate

Propylene glycol monostearate (PGMS) is an emulsifier derived from propylene glycol and stearic acid, designed to improve texture and extend shelf life in bakery products. It works by interacting with starch and protein components in dough, helping maintain softness and reducing staling. The result? Breads, cakes, and pastries that stay fresher for longer. 

PGMS is commonly used in yeast-raised breads, rolls, and specialty baked goods where emulsification is key to achieving the desired texture and moisture retention. It’s a practical solution for bakeries looking to maintain quality and consistency without complicating their process. 

Propylene glycol monostearate is used by: 

• Industrial Bakeries – For breads, rolls, and cakes that need extended softness and shelf life. 

• Foodservice and Retail Bakeries – Helps maintain consistent quality across multiple locations. 

• Brands and Private Label Programs – Ideal for packaged bakery products that need reliable performance and freshness. 

• Form – Available as a fine powder for easy incorporation into dry mixes or direct addition to dough. 

• Grade – Offered in standard food-grade specifications suitable for bakery applications.
