Tween 80, also known as polysorbate 80, is a nonionic surfactant commonly used in the food industry as an emulsifier and stabilizer. It is a water-soluble yellow liquid that is derived from sorbitol and oleic acid. Tween 80 is used to help mix oil and water-based ingredients together and prevent separation. In the food sector, it is commonly used in the production of baked goods, ice cream, and salad dressings to improve texture and stability. It is also used in the production of certain dairy products, such as cheese and whipped cream.
