What is Sorbitan Monostearate?

Spans are used in the manufacture of food and healthcare products as non-ionic surfactant with emulsifying, dispersing and wetting properties. They also employed to create synthetic fibers, metal machining fluid, and brighteners in the leather industry, and as an emulsifier in coatings, pesticides, and various applications in the plastics, food and cosmetics industries.

How is Sorbitan monostearate made?

Generally, sorbitan monostearate can be made from direct esterification of sorbitol and stearic acid. Sorbitan tristearate (E492) would be generated in the production if too much stearic acid is involved.

What’re the Uses of Sorbitan monostearate?

Sorbitan monostearate is used as an emulsifier, commonly together with polysorbates to keep water and oil mixed in many food products.

It is commonly used in instant dry yeast, fat and oil emulsions, desserts, food supplements, cake, spread, margarine, coffee whiteners, and so on.

The following are its main uses and functions in food:

• Dry yeast: maintain the moisture, increase the shelf life of dry yeast, and help the rehydration of yeast cells before blended with other dough ingredients.
• Ice cream: promote emulsifying of dairy fat, prevent the formation of ice crystals, and improve the mouthfeel.
• Margarine: improve emulsion stability and reduce sandiness.
• Whipping cream: improve foam volume and contribute to a nice and stiff foam.
• Bread & Cake: increase the loaf volume and improve the texture of bread and cake.
• Confections and chocolate: stabilize the emulsion of oils and fats.

Meanwhile, it can be condensed with ethylene oxide to synthesize polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monostearate (polysorbate 60), which is also a food emulsifier.
