How Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate (PGPR) Works with Other Emulsifiers
2026-01-26
Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate (PGPR, E476) is a low-HLB, oil-soluble emulsifier widely used to reduce viscosity in high-fat food systems. When combined with emulsifiers like lecithin, mono- and diglycerides, polysorbates, or sucrose esters, PGPR delivers enhanced flowability, stable emulsions, and improved processing performance. Understanding these synergistic mechanisms helps food manufacturers optimize formulations for chocolate, spreads, bakery fats, and confectionery products.
