Mono-& Triglycerides
Mono- and triglycerides, such as monoformin and tributyrin, are short and medium chain fatty acid glycerol esters valued for their role in promoting gut health and nutrient absorption. In the animal nutrition sector, they are used as performance enhancers and microbiota modifiers to support growth efficiency and overall animal health.

C8/C10 Monoglyceride
Mono C8/C10 is derived from a blend of caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) acids to produce the corresponding mono, di and triglyceride reaction mass. It is used mainly in feed, milk replacer or emulsified liquid systems.
-
Monobenzoin
Monobenzoin Glycerol monobenzoate feed ester is a feed material consisting of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids esterified with benzoic acid. It falls within EU Catalogue of Feed Materials entry 13.6.9, which covers mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids with at least four carbon atoms esterified with organic acids. As a feed material the product can be used for all…

Monobutyrin
Monobutyrin is the monoester of glycerol and butyric acid. Product contains mono-, di- and tributyrin and free glycerol. Monobutyrin is used in animal feed and is also available in water-dispersible liquid formulations.
-
Monocaproin
Monocaproin is the monoester of glycerol and caproic (hexanoic) acid. Product contains mono-, di- and triglycerides. It is used principally in feed or in a professionally emulsified liquid product.
-
Monoformin
Monoformin is mono- diglyceride of hexanoic acid esterified with formic acid. It is mainly positioned for feed and liquid feed or drinking-water systems since the formulation is fully dispersible.
-
Monoheptanoin
Monoheptanoin is the monoester of glycerol and heptanoic acid. “Monoheptanoic” is better treated as an informal product label; the chemically precise name is glyceryl monoheptanoate. It is mainly suitable for feed or emulsified liquid application.
-
Monolaurin
Monolaurin is the monoester of glycerol and lauric acid. Monolaurin contains mono-, di- and trilaurin, but the monolaurin fraction is normally the principal functional target. It is used mainly in feed, premixes and emulsified liquid systems.
-
Monopelargonin
Monopelargonin is the monoester of glycerol and pelargonic (nonanoic) acid. C9 glycerides contain mono-, di- and triglycerides and are mainly applied through feed or emulsified liquids.
-
Monopropionin
Monopropionin is the monoester of glycerol and propionic acid. Product is supplied as mono-/di-/tripropionin reaction mass or blended with free propionic acid. The short-chain monoester is commonly formulated for feed and, where product directions allow, water application.
-
Monovalerin
Monovalerin is the monoester of glycerol and valeric acid. Feed-grade “valerate glyceride” products contain mono-, di- and trivalerin. It is intended mainly for feed and formulated liquid applications.
-
Tributyrin
Tributyrin is the triglyceride of butyric acid. It is an oil-soluble, concentrated butyrate precursor used mainly in feed, premixes and emulsified liquid systems.
-
Trivalerin
Trivalerin is the triglyceride of valeric acid. It is a concentrated, lipophilic valerate precursor intended primarily for feed or an emulsified liquid delivery system.
