TWEEN 60 is a class of nonionic surfactants belonging to the group of polyoxyethylene alcohol esters. They are compounds formed by esterification of fatty acids and polyoxyethylene glycolates.TWEEN 60 has good emulsifying, stabilising and thickening properties and is widely used in the food industry.
The following are the main applications of TWEEN 60 in the food sector:
Emulsifier: TWEEN 60 has excellent emulsifying properties and is able to combine water and fat to form stable emulsion mixtures. It is often used as an emulsifier for dairy products, pastries, biscuits, frozen desserts and other foods to improve the texture and taste of the food.
Stabiliser: TWEEN 60 has good stability and prevents the separation of fats and water in foods. It is often used in food products such as sauces, salad dressings, and creams to keep the texture and taste of the food stable.
Bulking agent: TWEEN 60 is used in bread, cakes and other baked goods to improve the bulking properties of dough and make baked goods fluffier and more fluffy.
