Propylene glycol fatty acid ester (PGMS)

Propylene glycol fatty acid ester is made from propylene glycol and stearic acid with sound foaming and emulsibility. It is used for cake and cream cake of foaming agent, also commonly used in combination with other emulsifiers, synergistic effect.

Application:

Propylene glycol fatty acid ester can be used to Margarine and shortening for cake、whipping cream and other foods、personaly cares and medicine (as shown in the table)

Application range	Function	Suggested dosage
Margarine	Maintains fine and stable water-oil dispersion. Keep smooth texture. Avoids splashing and foaming during frying.	1% of oils and fats
Margarine/shortening for cake	Improves stability. Shortens whipping time. Enlarges cake size and keeps homogeneous texture. Prolongs shelf life.	1% of oils and fats,usually with DMG
Shortening	Adjusts oil crystal. Maintains fine and stable water dispersion.	1% ofoils and fats
Whipping cream	Shortens whipping time. Improves foam volume and structure. Creates a nice and stiff foams. Improves mouth feel.	0.5-1%，usually with DMG and Span60
Cake emulsifier	Propylene glycol fatty acid ester can enlarges cake volume. Improves cake texture and paste stability. Prolongs shelf life.	5%-15% of total recipe,usually with DMG、Span60 and PGE
Cake	Enlarges volume. Keeps spongs foams homogeneous. Improves texture and mouth feel. Reduces staling rate of starch. Prolongs shelf life.	0.5% of flour
Bread and pastry	Enlarges volume. Improves texture and prolongs shelf life.	0.3% of flour
Ice cream	Propylene glycol fatty acid ester can improve bulging rate and shape retention. Stabilizes foams.	0.3-0.5%,usually with DMG
Dairy	Promotes dispersing of fats and prevents delamination.	0.2-0.5%,usually with DMG
Personal cares	Used in facial cream to improve lubricating property, stability and shape retention.	5-10% of total emulsifier recipe
Medicine	Propylene glycol fatty acid ester can act as emulsifier and stabilizer for cream, paste and suppository.	10-20% in fats and oils
