Polysorbate 20 (Polyoxyethylene (20) Sorbitan Monolaurate)

Polysorbate 20 (Polyoxyethylene (20) Sorbitan Monolaurate) is a hydrophilic non-ionic surfactant developed for use in food and food supplement formulations. This synthetic compound functions as an emulsifying agent, dispersing agent, and stabiliser within aqueous systems.

The material exhibits a high hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value, making it highly effective for creating and maintaining oil-in-water emulsions. It is widely applied to solubilise lipophilic components, such as essential oils, flavours, and fat-soluble vitamins, ensuring uniform distribution and preventing phase separation across processed applications.
