Uses
Lactylated Fatty Acid Esters of Glycerol and Propylene
Glycol is an emulsifier made by the reaction of a propylene glycol
ester with lactic acid. it has more surface activity and is slightly more
hydrophilic than monoand diglycerides. it is used mainly where
aeration is required, such as in toppings, cake mixes, and icings. it is
used at levels required to produce the intended effect, such as 0.6%
in fluid whipped topping and 0.5% in coffee whitener.
