Glycerol Monolaurate Production Cost Breakup By Esterification Reaction

Details: Germany - based plant Q1 2024  | From $ USD

This report entails a detailed cost evaluation of glycerol monolaurate production by the esterification reaction. The preparation of glycerol monolaurate begins with the chemical reaction between glycerol and lauric acid. The process leads to the esterification of glycerol in the presence of a strong acidic medium such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid. The reactions lead to the formation of glycerol monolaurate ester as the final product.

Top Producers of Glycerol Monolaurate

  • Fuchun
  • Chemipol
  • Jeen International
  • Fine Organics
  • Evonik

Feedstocks of Glycerol Monolaurate

Glycerol monolaurate is synthesized by using lauric acid and glycerol as its major feedstocks. The procurement of lauric acid and glycerol is determined by various factors, including the availability of its raw materials (including coconut, biodiesel, etc), production cost, stability in the supply chain, etc.

Factors such as the activities in its upstream industries (including agriculture, biotechnology, and biofuel (such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and beverages, etc) altogether play a vital role in governing its procurement on a large scale. Moreover, other factors such as trade and transportation activities and governmental policies help in determining the overall procurement of glycerol monolaurate, as well as its feedstocks in the global chemical market.
