Description

Sucrose Polyester is a synthetic, non-digestible fat substitute derived from sucrose and fatty acids. This compound is valued for its ability to provide the functional and organoleptic properties of conventional fats without contributing significant calories. It is primarily utilized in the food and pharmaceutical industries as a key ingredient for developing reduced-calorie and functional products. Our supply of Sucrose Polyester CAS NO 121854-29-3 ensures consistent quality and reliable performance for industrial applications.

Application

• Low-Calorie Food Production: Acts as a fat replacer in baked goods, snacks, dairy products, and confectionery to reduce caloric density.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a lipid-based carrier or matrix for controlled-release drug delivery systems.
• Functional Food Ingredient: Incorporated into dietary supplements and medical nutrition products to manage fat intake.
• Texture and Mouthfeel Modifier: Provides the creamy texture and lubricity of fat in various food formulations.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or active material in nutritional science and food technology R&D.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Potential use in specialized, food-grade lubricant formulations.

Quality Control

Our Sucrose Polyester is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets specifications for identity, purity, and functional performance. While specific grades may conform to relevant food additive or pharmaceutical excipient guidelines, Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen blanket). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and heat sources.
