emulsifiers
Poly Glycerol Esters - PGE
Poly Glycerol Esters (PGE) are formed by the esterification of fatty acids with polyglycerol. This highly versatile emulsifier offers excellent hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) customization, allowing it to perform efficiently in low-fat systems where it mimics the luxurious mouthfeel of traditional fats.
Key Functional Benefits
- Excellent Cake Aeration: Enables the popular "all-in-one" mixing method in industrial cake plants, where all ingredients are mixed together simultaneously.
- Fat Reduction Capabilities: Replaces high-calorie fats in fillings and spreads without losing structural viscosity.
- Thermal Tolerance: Does not degrade or lose emulsification power during high-temperature processing.
