DESCRIPTION
PGE (Polyglycerol Esters of Fatty Acids), also known as food additive E475, is widely applied in bakery products, oils, fats and plastics. The emulsifiers are produced by esterification of polyglycerols with vegetable-based fatty acids. The type of fatty acids and polyglycerol and the degree of esterification determine the functionality of each product in the range.
