PGPR (Polyglycerol polyricinoleate)

What are they?

Polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) is a specialized emulsifier used primarily in chocolate and confectionery applications. Its main role? Reducing viscosity so chocolate flows easily during molding, enrobing, and coating. PGPR works alongside lecithin to improve processing efficiency without compromising taste or texture. 

By lowering the yield value of chocolate, PGPR helps manufacturers achieve smooth, uniform coatings and fillings while reducing the need for excess cocoa butter. This makes it a cost-effective solution for chocolate makers who want consistent performance and high-quality results. 

Who uses them?

PGPR is essential for: 

  • Chocolate Manufacturers – For molding, enrobing, and coating where flow properties matter. 
  • Confectionery Producers – Used in fillings, coatings, and specialty chocolate products to ensure smooth texture and easy processing. 
  • Brands and Retailers – Ideal for packaged chocolate and confectionery products that need consistent quality and appearance. 
Variations and Selection Criteria
