Description

Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate is a non-ionic, polymeric emulsifier derived from castor oil and polyglycerol. This compound is highly valued for its exceptional ability to stabilize water-in-oil emulsions, providing superior texture and shelf-life stability. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking reliable, multi-functional emulsifiers for complex formulations.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and stabilizer in chocolate and compound coatings to prevent fat bloom and control viscosity.
• Key component in low-fat spreads and margarines, providing a creamy mouthfeel and stable emulsion structure.
• Stabilizing agent in bakery fillings and whipped toppings to ensure consistent texture and aeration.
• Emulsifier in cosmetic creams and lotions, particularly in water-in-oil systems for rich, non-greasy textures.
• Used in pharmaceutical ointments and topical preparations for enhanced drug delivery and emulsion stability.
• Processing aid in the production of confectionery products like caramel and fudge to control sugar crystallization and improve machinability.

Quality Control

Our Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate is manufactured under strict quality systems to ensure it meets the requirements for food-grade (E476/INS 476) and cosmetic applications. Each batch is tested against rigorous in-house specifications for identity, purity, and functionality. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen to preserve quality and extend shelf life.
