Description

Lauroyl Lactylate is a versatile, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from lauric acid and lactic acid. This compound is highly valued for its ability to improve texture, stability, and volume in a wide range of formulations. It is an essential ingredient for manufacturers in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking reliable, multifunctional performance additives.

Application

• Food Industry: Primarily used as a dough conditioner and crumb softener in baked goods to improve volume, texture, and shelf life.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Functions as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel.
• Pharmaceuticals: Serves as an excipient in topical formulations and tablets, aiding in emulsification and improving drug delivery.
• Industrial Applications: Acts as a dispersant, wetting agent, and emulsifier in various industrial processes and agrochemical formulations.
• Whipped Toppings & Desserts: Used to stabilize aerated systems, providing structure and overrun in whipped creams and dessert toppings.
• Pasta & Noodles: Improves dough handling properties, reduces stickiness, and enhances the final texture of pasta products.
