Can you use Glycerol Monostearate instead of lecithin for biscuit manufacturing?

Yes we can definitely use Glycerol Monostearate instead of lecithin for biscuit manufacturing because GMS has a HLB value of 3.8 comparable to the HLB value of lecithin (4.0). Also GMS is non-toxic and is a FDA approved Food additive. In commercial biscuit manufacturing GMS is extensively used.
