Advantages and Alternatives
2. Dairy Products It is commonly added to ice creams and creams to achieve a smooth, uniform texture, preventing separation of fat and water.
emulsifier 472

The mechanism by which Emulsifying Agent 471 operates lies in its molecular structure. Each molecule possesses both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) components. When added to a mixture of oil and water, these molecules orient themselves at the interface between the two phases. The hydrophilic part interacts with water, while the hydrophobic part interacts with oil. This unique orientation reduces surface tension and creates a stable emulsion, allowing for a uniform and appealing product.
