• He matū kaha te Glycerol monolaurate (GML) e whakaatu ana i tete mahi patu huakita
  

• Ko te GML i roto i ngā kai a ngā heihei parai, e whakaatu ana i te pānga paturopi kaha, me te kore paitini.

• He pai te GML i te 300 mg/kg mō te whakaputa heihei parai, ā, ka taea hoki te whakapai ake i te tipu.

• He huarahi kē atu whai hua te GML hei whakakapi i ngā rongoā paturopi tuku iho e whakamahia ana i roto i ngā kai a ngā heihei parai.

Ko te Glycerol Monolaurate (GML), e mōhiotia ana ko te monolaurin, he monoglyceride i hangaia mā te whakahāngaitanga o te glycerol me te waikawa lauric. Ko te waikawa lauric he waikawa ngako me te 12 waro (C12) e ahu mai ana i ngā puna tipu, pērā i te hinu nikau. Ka kitea te GML i roto i ngā puna taiao pērā i te waiū ū tangata. I tōna āhua parakore, he totoka māwhero te GML. Ko te hanganga ngota o te GML he waikawa ngako lauric e hono ana ki te tuara glycerol i te tūranga sn-1 (alpha). E mōhiotia ana mō ōna āhuatanga antimicrobial me ōna pānga pai ki te hauora o te puku. Ka hangaia te GML mai i ngā rauemi whakahou, ā, he hototahi ki te hiahia e tipu haere ana mō ngā tāpiringa kai pumau.
