Question
Could you please provide more information about Monolaurin (Glyceryl Monolaurate)? Specifically, is it produced via a bio-process, and are the raw materials (Glycerol and Lauric Acid) bio-based? Thank you.
Answer
Glyceryl Monolaurate, also known as Monolaurin, is a compound formed from glycerol and lauric acid. The product description available provides information on its composition and uses, such as its antiseptic effect and function as a co-emulsifier. However, the description does not specify whether the production process is bio-based or if the raw materials (glycerol and lauric acid) are sourced from bio-based origins.
