Bioactivity Monocaprylin (Glyceryl monocaprylate), a monoglyceride of caprylic acid, exhibits an excellent antibacterial activity. Monocaprylin inhibits a variety of foodborne pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms and has the potential for an alternative food preservative research[1].
Invitro Monocaprylin (Glyceryl monocaprylate; 25, 50 mM; 24 h) reduces all 5 pathogens (Strep. agalactiae, Strep. dysgalactiae, Strep. uberis, Staph. aureus, and E. coli) by >5.0 log cfu/mL after 6 h of incubation[1].
