Monostearate de Sorbitane, a natural form extracted from palm oil, can be labeled as "plant fatty acid sorbitan ester." When combined with diacetyl tartaric acid esters, it forms a synergistic compound known as sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate. Tert-Butylhydroquinone, also known as TBHQ or T-4-Q, is a synthetic antioxidant used in human food and can be found in baked goods, salad dressings, and some cosmetics.
In Yeast: Monostearate de Sorbitane is used in baked goods such as bread, cakes, and pizza dough as a plasticizer to improve texture by lowering the glass transition temperature of the dough. It improves the shelf life of baked goods by reducing staling (bread) or drying (cake).
In Cosmetics: Monostearate de Sorbitane is used in various cosmetics, including skincare, haircare, and makeup products, to improve texture and prevent dryness. It works by forming a protective film on the surface of the skin or hair, helping retain moisture and preventing damage from friction. It also helps prevent moisture loss due to evaporation and can reduce hair frizz.
In Pharmaceuticals: Monostearate de Sorbitane acts as an emulsifier in some prescription medications, such as oral contraceptives, anti-diabetic drugs, antidepressants, antibiotics, and other medications that need stability during storage or transport. Dietary supplements can also use Monostearate de Sorbitane as an ingredient, as it helps prevent the separation of the supplement into individual components.
Yes, there have been nearly no reported side effects, and the product is considered safe. It has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and the FAO/WHO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA).
Food and Drug Administration (FDA): Monostearate de Sorbitane can be safely used as an emulsifier in many food products, sometimes combined with polyoxyethylene sorbitan esters (60, 65, 80), in applications such as whipped edible oil coatings, cake mixes, sugar coatings, and fillings. It is also used in non-standardized candy coatings, standardized cocoa products, and plant fat-water emulsions for beverages like coffee. Furthermore, it is used as a rehydration aid in active dry yeast production, with a maximum usage of 1%. Additionally, it can be safely used in animal mineral premixes and dietary supplements.
