Polysorbate 60 & 80

What are they?

Polysorbate 60 and Polysorbate 80 are emulsifiers commonly used in food manufacturing to stabilize emulsions and improve texture. They work by helping oil and water mix, creating uniform blends that hold up during processing and storage. In bakery, they improve aeration and crumb softness in cakes and whipped toppings. In dairy, they stabilize creams and frozen desserts. In meat and prepared foods, they keep sauces and dressings smooth and consistent. For confectionery, they help maintain texture in fillings and coatings. 

Polysorbates are especially valued for their ability to prevent separation and maintain product quality over time, making them a go-to choice for manufacturers across multiple categories.
