Product Description

Product Description

Sorbitan Fatty Acid Esters

Sorbitan Fatty Acid Esters are nonionic surfactants derived from the esterification of sorbitol (sorbitol) and fatty acids. These versatile compounds play a key role in various industries due to their unique emulsifying properties. They are widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic formulations and are a must-have for manufacturers seeking effective stabilization and formulation solutions. Sorbitan Fatty Acid Esters are known for their ability to reduce surface tension, which enhances the mixing and dispersion of ingredients.

Commercial material used in foods is produced industrially by a glycerolysis reaction between triglycerides (from either vegetable or animal fats) and glycerol.
