                                Monooleic glycerides are produced by the ester of fatty acids,  mainly oleic acids,  with glycerides. Since fatty acids are not pure substances but mixtures of fatty acids,  the products produced by esterification will be mixtures of esters,  including monostearate and monopalmitate. You have diesters and triesters. As a result,  the physical properties of the glycerol monoleate will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer,  for example,  with melting points ranging from 10 to 35℃.

                                Monoolein is used in oral and topical preparations and is generally considered relatively non-toxic and non-irritating.
