Polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) is a food additive commonly used as an emulsifier in the food industry. It is made by polymerizing glycerol with ricinoleic acid, a fatty acid derived from castor bean oil. PGPR e476 is known for its ability to reduce the viscosity of chocolate, making it easier to work with during the manufacturing process and improving its flow properties. This additive helps prevent the formation of fat bloom (a whitish film) on chocolate, extending its shelf life and enhancing its appearance.
Additionally, PGPR emulsifier is used in various other food products where emulsification is required, such as margarine, spreads, and baked goods. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption by regulatory authorities around the world when used within specified limits.
