Description – Mixed glycerol esters of acetic acid and fatty acids of food fats. Contains mono- and diesters of fatty acids with glycerol which is itself partially acetylated; may also contain free glycerol and free fatty acids. From liquid to solid in consistency; white to pale yellow, may have the odour of acetic acid.
Application – It is usable for foaming and stabilising fats and oils by itself or in combination with other emulsifiers because of its stable alpha-crystal structure. It is also included as a component in coating to prevent dehydration of meats, fruits and vegetables.
