E472C – Citric and fatty acid esters of glycerol

Description

A complex emulsifier and stabilizing agent synthesized via the esterification of glycerol with citric acid and various fatty acids (typically derived from vegetable oils or animal fats). It functions primarily as a hydrophilic emulsifier (HLB 10-14), stabilizing oil-in-water emulsions, improving volume in baked goods, and preventing fat bloom in chocolate products.
