Glycerol monooleate (GMO), casein and whey proteins are surfactants that can stabilize emulsion systems. 
This study investigates the impact of instantized GMO powders on creaming stability and oxidative stability in protein-stabilized emulsions. 
Model emulsions with bulk Glyceryl monooleate, two instantized GMO powders, and two controls (without GMO) were produced by microfluidization. 
The droplet size, ζ-potential, viscosity, and creaming index of the emulsions were measured, while oxidative stability was evaluated by analysis of volatile compounds during storage (28 days, 45 ◦C) using gas chromatography mass spectrometry. 
Emulsions with GMO produced smaller average droplet sizes (180.0 nm) with a narrower distribution (polydispersity index of 0.161) compared to the controls (197.6 nm, 0.194). 
The emulsion stability of instantized emulsions was as good as bulk GMO, which were both better than controls. 
Based on the relative abundance of 3-octen-2-one, 2,4-heptadienal isomer 2, and 3,5-octadien-2-one isomer 1, the oxidative stability of the instantized emulsions was not significantly different from controls; however, bulk GMO emulsion showed significantly lower stability than controls. 
Instantized Glyceryl monooleate powders can successfully produce physically stable protein-stabilized emulsions with good oxidative stability in a convenient powdered format. 
Keywords: glycerol monooleate; sodium caseinate; whey protein concentrate; creaming stability; oxidative stability; volatile analysis

Protein-stabilized emulsions are examples of oil-in-water emulsions that have been used to deliver nutrients, bioactive compounds, and flavors. 
The most common food emulsions are yogurt, cream, coffee creamer, milk, and plant-based beverages. 
Proteins are the main group of emulsifiers that stabilize oil droplets in the aqueous phase. 
Many proteins are amphiphilic molecules containing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic structures, which make them good emulsifiers. 
The amphiphilic nature of protein allows them to adsorb at the oil-water interface and form a protective film surrounding the oil droplets. 
The adsorbed proteins at the interface provide repulsive forces, such as steric and electrostatic forces, to stabilize the oil droplets in the aqueous phase. 
However, oil droplets can simultaneously undergo multiple physical destabilization mechanisms such as creaming, flocculation, and coalescence that eventually lead to complete separation of oil and aqueous layers. 
Casein and whey proteins are milk proteins primarily used in food formulations due to their outstanding emulsifying properties. 
Milk proteins can also adsorb to the air-water interface under agitation leading to foam formation. 
Foaming in milk beverages is undesirable as it can lead to inconsistent product quality, higher product loss, and lower productivity. 

Low-molecular-weight Foods 2020, 9, 1237; doi:10.3390/foods9091237 www.mdpi.com/journal/foods Foods 2020, 9, 1237 2 of 16 emulsifiers, such as monoglycerides, can be added to the emulsion to increase emulsion stability and reduce foam formation during homogenization. 
Creaming is the most common destabilization mechanism that occurs in oil-in-water emulsions such as milk beverages. 
Creaming is an upward movement of dispersed oil droplets in the emulsion due to the density difference between oil and aqueous phases upon standing. 
The cream layer is usually easy to re-suspend into the emulsion upon agitation, as the oil droplets retain their integrity due to the absence of physical and chemical interactions. 
Previous work investigated various monoglyceride compositions in model emulsions, and the results showed that glycerol monooleate (GMO) produced smaller oil droplets with narrow size distribution and greater stability towards creaming during storage when compared to the control (no GMO). 
Glyceryl monooleate is an unsaturated monoglyceride with only one of the hydroxyl groups of glycerol esterified with an unsaturated fatty acid, i.e., oleic acid. 
The oil-soluble nature of Glyceryl monooleate means that it has high solubility in oil and poor dispersibility in water and is thus not suitable for many food formulations. 
However, if Glyceryl monooleate could be transformed into an instantized powder with good dispersibility in water using spray-drying it could produce a suitable food ingredient. 
Spray-drying is the most commonly available technique in the food industry to transform hydrophobic materials, such as oil and bioactive compounds, into instantized powders with good water dispersibility and protection against lipid oxidation. 
The unsaturated fatty acids in GMO are prone to oxidation, which is the root cause of rancidity and off-flavor in these ingredients. 
Measurement of volatile secondary oxidation products by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has been used extensively to study the progression of lipid oxidation [10]. 
In our previous work, we reported on the feasibility of using spray-drying to prepare a novel instantized emulsifier based on Glyceryl monooleate that can be easily reconstituted in water and on the properties of the powders. 
From this work, the two instantized GMO powders that exhibited the lowest surface oil (3%), good dispersibility in water (74–87%), and the smallest change in droplet size after reconstitution were selected for the current study. 
The current study aims to evaluate the effect of instantized GMO powder on the physicochemical properties, creaming stability, and oxidative stability in protein-stabilized emulsions. The key comparisons were between emulsions with bulk GMO (bGMO) and instantized GMO powder, and between emulsions with GMO and control emulsions without GMO.

Characterization
Composition: Empirical: C21H40O4
Formula: CH3(CH2)7CH = CH(CH2)7COOCH2CCH2OHHOH

Properties: Glycerol monooleate is a clear amber or pale yellow liquid. 
It is insoluble in water, very slightly soluble in cold alcohol, and soluble in hot alcohol, in chloroform, in ether, and in petroleum ether. 
Glycerol monooleate is also oil soluble, giving it particularly desirable properties as a food emulsion. 
Like other surfactants, its properties are distinct from those of the reactants.
Glycerol monooleate can form a micro-emulsion in water. 
Glycerine is completely soluble in water, while oleic acid is insoluble in water. 
The hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of glycerol monooleate is 3.8 .

How Made: The processes described here are based on published literature. 
Information on the manufacturing processes for the listed sources in the petition was not able to be obtained.
Glycerol monooleate is prepared by esterifying glycerin with food-grade oleic acid in the presence of a suitable catalyst to form a monoglyceride ester. 
Glycerol Monooleate (GM) is a synthetic surface-active chemical widely used as a nonionic surfactant and emulsant. 
It is produced by the reaction of glycerine and oleic acid over a catalyst to form a monoglyceride ester. 
Both batch and continuous synthesis routes are used. Commercial production of monoglycerides is described in detail by Gupta (1996):

“Monoglycerides are made by reacting triglycerides with excess glycerol in presence of a catalyst” (glycerolysis reaction, which is a transesterification). 
The finished product generally contains 35-50% monoglycerides, hence the Food Chemicals Codex requirement of “not less than 35% monoglycerides.” 
“The rest consists of diglycerides, some unreacted triglycerides, residual glycerol, and free fatty acids.”
“It should be pointed out that the free fatty acid is not true fatty acid, but titratable acid. 
Phosphoric acid, added in slight excess at the neutralization step, leaves some residue in the product along with the (fatty) acid salts.”

The basic ingredients for commercial production of monoglycerides are: partially or fully hydrogenated deodorized vegetable oils, glycerol, and sodium hydroxide as a catalyst. 
Catalysts can also be Sn++, Zn++ 80 , sodium glyceroxide or other metal glyceroxides. 
When NaOH is used as a catalyst, phosphoric acid is later added for neutralization.
Glycerin is obtained from fats or oils as a by-product of the production of soaps and fatty acids. 
Glycerin can also be produced by fermentation of sugars and synthesized from propylene (Burdock 1997). 
Saponification involves the reaction of a fat or oil with potassium hydroxide or another alkali solution (Streitweiser and Heathcock, 1985).
Recovery usually involves aluminum sulfate, sulfuric acid, or hydrochloric acid. 
Glycerin can be purified by ion exchange. 
Glycerin is on the National List of allowed synthetics at 7 CFR 205.605(b)(13): produced by hydrolysis of fats and oils.

Glycerin can also be prepared from a number of petrochemical sources by a variety of processes. 
Early efforts to synthesize glycerin from fermentation sources involved acetaldehyde and sodium sulfite. 
Other fermentation methods have been developed since that time. 
The first entirely synthetic source of glycerin resulted from the large stream of products from the chlorination of propylene glycol to produce allyl chloride. 
One method uses chlorohydrination of allyl chloride to produce a mixture of epichlorohydrin and dichlorohydrin.
Dichlorohydrin can be hydrolyzed to produce glycerin.

Oleic acid is usually obtained by hydrolysis of fats or oils. 
Oleic acid is generally either extracted from natural fats or from tall oil, itself a pine sap derivative. 
The source of fats can be vegetable or animal. 
The primary vegetable oils used to manufacture oleic acid include soybean, cottonseed, corn, and canola. 
Genetically modified varieties of each of these plants have been commercially released. 
Oleic acid can also be synthesized and recovered from tall (pine) oil resulting from pulp and paper manufacture . 
It is possible to enzymatically split fats using various lipolytic enzymes, although this is usually limited to sensitive fats and oils. 
These are commercially available from a wide range of non-GMO sources. 
For example, triacylglycerol lipase from fungal, bacterial, animal, or plant sources (White and White, 1997). 
Solvents involved may be methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, or acetone.

Some glycerol esters are prepared by reaction with epoxides such as ethylene oxide and propylene oxide.
This review generally does not include the products of such a reaction, but some of the general references do not
distinguish glycerol esters based on the method of preparation.
 

Specific Uses: It is used as an antifoam in juice processing and as a lipophilic emulsifier for water-in-oil applications. 
It also serves as a moisturizer, emulsifier, and flavoring agent. Various forms of glycerol oleate are widely used in cosmetics. 
It is also widely used as an excipient in antibiotics and other drugs.

The petition addresses the specific use as a defoaming agent. 
The petition states, “There is the potential for foam to be discharged up the exhaust line and to the roof”.

The petition states, “Flash boiling causes foaming and is one of the stages where anti-foam is critical. 
If air (in the form of foaming) enters the system, it causes many problems. 
One of the most difficult to deal with is the issue of under weight containers. 
If there is air in the system it does not allow the fillers to put the legal weight of liquid into the container. 
A second critical function of the anti-foam is the prevention of product loss from boil over in the vacuum chamber.

“After the vacuum chamber, the milk goes to final cooling, is transferred to a sterilized tank, and then sent to a filler.
These transfers, via pumps and valves, are further causes of air incorporating into the product. 
The fillers do have anti125 foaming devices on them. 
An example would be mesh screens that all products must pass through just before going into the milk carton. 
Mechanical anti-foaming devices such as these do not provide sufficient anti-foam protection in productsnsusceptible to foaming. 
Susceptible products include lowfat and nonfat milk products, which inherently have more severe foaming problems due to the reduced fat level. 
Fat has anti-foam properties.

“In aseptic milk there is an additional step that causes foam. 
As milk is going into the filler, the milk cartons are simultaneously being formed into shape and readied for the milk (in a sterile environment). 
At that point, as the milk is filling the packages, nitrogen is injected in to displace oxygen. 
Without this step, the milk would oxidize over time, and develop severe flavor defects. 
This nitrogen addition causes foaming in no-fat and low fat milk products affecting the ability to fill to legal weight. 
Additionally, excess foaming adversely affects the ability of the package to properly seal. . . .

 “[Pineapple and carrot juices] tend to foam excessively during blending. 
If anti-foam is not used, excess air from foaming will insulate the product and prevent adequate heat transfer for pasteurization. 
By using anti-foam, air incorporated during blending is released, and therefore all particles are fully pasteurized, in keeping with Federal Regulations”.

The petition states, “During the harvest and processing, Spirulina and its media are pumped into the harvest building and concentrated by washing onto sequentially finer stainless steel screens. 
The media is pumped at approximately 800 gallons per minute which results in a great deal of foaming due to the tremendous flow rates and turbulence caused by the screening. 
An antifoam agent is necessary during this processing stage otherwise the algae foams, will not harvest properly, and most of the product is subsequently wasted” .

Containment and inhibition of foam is necessary in food processing for efficient operation of production equipment, to reduce product waste, to maintain a safe workplace, and to keep facilities clean and sanitary

Action: The surface tension and solubility in oil or water of the anti-foaming agent is based on the hydrophilic (‘water151 loving’) / lipophilic (‘oil-loving’) nature of a surface-active agent and is denoted by the HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic
balance) number. 
Surface-active agents with low HLB (2 – 8) are oil-soluble, while those with high HLB (14 – 18) are water-soluble. 
Glycerol monooleate is lipophilic and binds to fatty parts of a liquid. 
It is a surface-active agent (surfactant) that breaks the tension of a foam bubble.
Combinations: In juice production, glycerol monooleate is mixed with water. 
Milk ultrapasteurization (UP) systems may also involve the use of ammonium hydroxide as a boiler water additive. 
Commercial formulations may contain butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), citric acid, polymeric dyes, propyl gallate, propylene glycol, sorbitan monostearate, tertiary butylated hydroquinone (TBHQ), and various vegetable oils.

Status
Historic Use: The addition of fatty acid esters to improve the processing of dehydrated and reconstituted fruit and vegetable juices was patented in 1951 (Strashun).

OFPA, USDA Final Rule:
Glycerol monooleate is a monoglyceride. Mono- and di-glycerides are allowed for use in drum drying of food. 
Otherwise, glycerol monooleate does not specifically appear on the National List of Allowed Non-organic ingredients . 

Glycerol Monooleate and its precursors are not harmful to the environment. 
All three materials occur in natural animal and plant fats. 
Oleic acid is extracted from natural product. 
Glycerine can be made from natural fats or petrochemicals. 
Glycerine appears on the National List of allowed synthetic materials for processing with the annotation
“produced by hydrolysis of fats and oils” (7 CFR 205.605.b.12). 
A similar annotation could be added to glycerol monooleate, if the material were to be added to the National List. 
Glycerine produced from propane usually has the CAS # 115-07-1 instead of the more general # 56-81-5 (Jakobson et al., 1985).

Glycerol monooleate is a food processing aid that would only be used in large integrated plants. 
It should not have any interactions with the agroecosystem. 
An exception would be filtered juice solids, which are landfilled or later sold as a livestock food supplement. 
The material is edible and does not appear to be harmful to humans at the concentrations used in food processing.
