glyseroliyhdisteen
Glyseroliyhdisteen is a Finnish term used to describe glycerol derivatives—chemical compounds derived from glycerol (propan-1,2,3-triol) by substituting one or more hydroxyl groups or by esterifying glycerol with fatty acids or other acylating agents. The term covers a broad range of structures that share the glycerol backbone but differ in their substituents and functional groups.
A common subset of glyseroliyhdisteen are glycerol esters, or glycerides, including monoacylglycerols (MAG), diacylglycerols (DAG), and
Properties and production methods vary among glyseroliyhdisteen. MAG and DAG are amphiphilic and act as surfactants,
Applications of glycerol derivatives are broad. In the food industry, MAG and DAG are common emulsifiers and
Safety and regulation depend on the specific derivative and its use; glycerol itself is low in toxicity,
