Industries
What is PGPR used for in the food industry?
Polyglycerin-Polyricinoleat is used in the food industry to improve the texture and stability of various products. It serves as an emulsifier, helping to mix ingredients that would otherwise separate, such as water and oil. This is particularly valuable in the production of chocolate and other confectionery items, where it helps prevent the cocoa butter from separating and forming unsightly white streaks on the surface of the chocolate. Additionally, PGPR is used in conjunction with other emulsifiers like lecithin to achieve the desired texture and consistency in food products.
