TWEEN 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 has good emulsifying, stabilising and thickening properties and is widely used in the food industry.
The following are the main applications of TWEEN in the food sector:
Emulsifier: TWEEN 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 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 is used in bread, cakes and other baked goods to improve the bulking properties of dough and make baked goods fluffier and more fluffy.
Fat replacer: TWEEN can be used as a fat replacer to reduce the fat content in foods while maintaining texture and taste.
