Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate (PGPR) E476

Polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) is a food additive commonly used as an emulsifier in the food industry. It is derived from castor oil and consists of esters of polyglycerol and fatty acids, primarily ricinoleic acid.
Chemical Name: Polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR)
CAS Number: 29894-35-7
Appearance: Light to dark brown viscous liquid or solid flakes.
Odor: Slight characteristic odor.
Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in fats and oils.
Availability:
Quantity:

Key Features of Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate:

  1. Emulsification: PGPR is an effective emulsifier that helps stabilize oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions. It reduces the surface tension between immiscible phases, facilitating the formation and stability of emulsions.

  2. Viscosity Reduction: PGPR can lower the viscosity of fat-based systems, making them easier to handle and process during manufacturing. This feature is particularly useful in chocolate production, where it improves flow properties.

  3. Texture Enhancement: By modifying the rheological properties of fats, PGPR contributes to improved texture and mouthfeel in various food products. It can provide a smoother and creamier consistency.

  4. Fat Reduction: In some applications, PGPR enables the reduction of solid fat content by allowing the replacement of solid fats with liquid oils while maintaining desired product characteristics. This can be beneficial for creating healthier or lower-fat food alternatives.

Applications of Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate:

  1. Chocolate and Confectionery: PGPR is widely used in chocolate production to enhance texture, increase fluidity, prevent fat bloom, and improve overall quality. It helps achieve smoother and more manageable chocolate products.

  2. Margarine and Spreads: PGPR finds application in the production of margarine and spreads, contributing to improved emulsion stability and texture. It helps create a smooth and spreadable consistency.

  3. Bakery Products: In bakery applications, PGPR can be used to improve dough handling properties, volume, and texture in products like cakes, pastries, and biscuits.

  4. Dairy and Non-dairy Alternatives: PGPR is utilized in the production of dairy products and non-dairy alternatives such as plant-based creams and desserts. It aids in emulsifying fats and water, enhancing texture, and providing a creamy mouthfeel.
