SPAN is a food additive known as "Sorbitan Fatty Acid Esters" SPAN is a class of compounds made by esterifying sorbitol and fatty acids, which are widely used in the food industry for their emulsifying, stabilising and thickening properties.
The following are the main applications of SPAN in the food industry:
Emulsifier: SPAN has good emulsifying properties and can combine water and fat to form stable emulsion mixtures. It is often used as an emulsifier for dairy products, pastries, biscuits, frozen desserts and other foods to improve the texture and taste of the food.
Stabiliser: SPAN increases the stability of foods and prevents the separation of fats and water from the food. It is often used in food products such as sauces, salad dressings, creams, etc. to keep the texture and taste of the food stable.
Thickener: SPAN has certain thickening properties to increase the viscosity and taste of food. It is often used in dairy products, frozen desserts, jams and other foods to improve the taste and texture of the food.
