about the product

Emulsifiers, which may be extracted from plants, organisms, or industrial sources, are widely used in packaged foods like mayonnaise, ice cream, and baked goods to give them a smooth appearance, avoid separation, and prolong shelf life.
A food emulsifier, also known as an emulgent, is a surface-active agent that forms a buffer between two immiscible liquids like oil and water, allowing them to be combined into solid emulsions. Emulsifiers also tend to minimize stickiness, crystallization, and isolation.
Using monoglyceride and lecithin to margarine was the first use of a nutritional emulsifier. These compounds were formerly only recognized as emulsifiers. As research progressed, more functions were discovered, and they began to be used in a variety of fields, including bread, ice cream, and cake. Emulsifiers are used in Japanese foods such as tofu and minced fish products nowadays.
Why are emulsifiers needed for bread and tofu? In general, an emulsifier is known for its emulsifying properties, but it also performs a variety of functions, some of which are mentioned below:
- Prevents water spattering in cooking by modifying oil crystals;
- Destroys emulsion to preserve foam and give the ice cream a smooth texture while preserving its shape;
- Reacts with proteins to produce a smooth, easy-to-rise bread dough;
- To make bread fluffy, it works on starch.
