GLYCEROL MONOLAURATE
Glycerol monolaurate, also known as monolaurin, is a monoglyceride based on lauric acid. It is considered more biologically potent than the respective fatty acid. As mounting concerns about antibiotic resistance and more restriction are imposed on the use of antibiotics and antibiotics growth promoters on healthy animals, the demand for viable alternatives has increased. Glycerol monolaurate is an ingredient with antibacterial property that empowers the animal health status and performance.
Oleon offers different monolaurin products, with a monoglyceride content ranging from 40% to 90%.
CHALLENGE
The animal farming industry is facing many challenges such as the reduction of the environmental footprint, the improvement of feed efficiency and animal welfare. There is a need for viable additives that support farmers in reaching their objectives.

Method of action
The mode of action of glycerol monolaurate is linked to the unique structure of monoglycerides. When the hydrophilic glycerol head and the hydrophobic lauric acid tail interacts with the cell membrane of the fat-enveloped microorganisms, it disables the microorganisms by disrupting its structure.
Monolaurin also exhibits immunomodulatory properties by working on both the cell signaling pathways of immune cells and pro-inflammatory cytokines. As a result, less energy is required for the immune system and more resources can be directed towards increased growth. This leads to a healthier intestinal tract.
