Lauric monoglyceride is also known as lauric acid monoglyceride. Lauric monoglyceride is synthesized by the direct esterification of lauric acid and glycerol. It generally appears as scaly or oily, white or light yellow fine-grained crystals. It is often added to food, daily necessities or cosmetics as a bactericide and anti-inflammatory agent.
The following suppliers of lauric acid will help you understand the antibacterial effect of lauric acid monoglyceride:
1. The effect of lauric acid monoglyceride on bacterial vegetative bodies:
The effect of lauric acid monoglyceride on bacterial vegetative bodies The inhibitory effect is mainly accomplished through the cell wall of vegetative cells, combined with the biofilm, affecting the normal material metabolism and energy metabolism of vegetative cells. However, due to Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, yeast, and filamentous fungi, etc. have different cell wall structures, so there are differences in the antibacterial effects of lauric acid monoglyceride on microorganisms with different properties.
2. Spore-inhibiting effect of lauric acid monoglyceride:
Lauric acid monoglyceride removes In addition to its good inhibitory effect, bacterial vegetative bodies can also reduce the heat resistance of bacterial spores, inhibit spore germination and kill spores. The heat resistance of spores mainly depends on the multi-layered spore wall and 2.6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid. The inhibitory effect of GML on spores is mainly due to the fact that GML can act on the spore wall and reduce the heat resistance of spores.
Chaibi et al. have shown that lauric acid monoglyceride dissolved in phosphate buffer can inhibit the spore germination of Bacillus thermophilus, Bacillus subtilis, Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium botulinum , and the spores of Bacillus genus Clostridium spores are more sensitive to lauric acid monoglyceride.
