Polyglycerol Esters of Fatty Acids is a polyhydroxy ester non-ionic surfactant, referred to as polyglyceride,with HLB value of 3~13,which can be used as O/W type or W/O type emulsifier. It is non-toxic and harmless,with biodegradability,and is a kind of efficient and safe additive.The HLB value of polyglyceride can be adjusted by changing the length of glycerol chain, the degree of substitution of fatty acids and the type of fatty acids.
PGE have the function of emulsification,viscosity adjustment,crystallization adjustment,quality improvement,antibacterial,etc. PGE with high HLB value is the substitute of Tween series products,which can be used for baking food,shortening,salad dressing,frosting,filling materials and non-fat fresh cream.
