About Polysorbate 60 (Polyethylene Glycol Sorbitan Monostearate)

Polysorbate 60 is an additive used in processed food products for its emulsifying properties (ability to keep fats from separating out). Commercially produced frozen desserts, baked goods, and imitation dairy products are just some of the foods that may contain polysorbate 60.

Versatile Emulsification Properties

Polysorbate 60 exhibits strong solubility in water, ethanol, and ethyl acetate, owing to its hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of 14.9. Its nonionic structure enhances stability in diverse formulations, effectively blending oil and water phases. This ensures uniform texture in both food and cosmetic products, such as whipped toppings, margarine, creams, and lotions.


Quality and Safety Standards

Tested for purity, Polysorbate 60 maintains heavy metal content below 10 ppm, acid value under 2 mg KOH/g, and meets international quality benchmarks (FCC, USP, BP). Thanks to its non-poisonous, allergen-free, and non-GMO profile, it is safe for a wide range of industrial, food, and pharmaceutical uses.

FAQ's of Polysorbate 60 (Polyethylene Glycol Sorbitan Monostearate):


Q: How is Polysorbate 60 used in food products?

A: Polysorbate 60 serves as an emulsifier in food manufacturing, helping blend oil and water components in products such as cakes, margarine, and whipped toppings. Its unique properties create stable, smooth textures and prolong shelf life of the final products.

Q: What are the benefits of using Polysorbate 60 in skincare and cosmetics?

A: In creams, lotions, and ointments, Polysorbate 60 facilitates the even dispersion of oil-based ingredients in water-based solutions. This results in homogenous, stable emulsions that improve product consistency and skin feel.

Q: Where should Polysorbate 60 be stored for optimal quality?

A: Polysorbate 60 should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from direct light and kept in its original packaging. This helps maintain its quality and extends its shelf life up to 24 months.

Q: What is the process for handling and packaging Polysorbate 60?

A: Polysorbate 60 is typically supplied as waxy flakes or pastilles in 25 kg bags or fibre drums. Proper handling involves minimizing exposure to air and moisture to prevent clumping and ensure product integrity.

Q: When is Polysorbate 60 preferred over other emulsifiers?

A: Polysorbate 60 is ideal when a high HLB emulsifier is needed for water-based systems, such as in certain food and cosmetic products. Its excellent emulsifying capability and safety profile make it a preferred choice for manufacturers seeking non-GMO and allergen-free ingredients.

Q: What quality standards does Polysorbate 60 adhere to?

A: Polysorbate 60 complies with major standards, including FCC, USP, and BP. Quality controls ensure purity above 99%, low acid and heavy metal content, and it is classified as non-poisonous and allergen-free.

Q: How does Polysorbate 60 benefit industrial and food applications?

A: In industrial and food sectors, Polysorbate 60 improves product stability, enhances texture, and prolongs shelf life. It is versatile, non-toxic, and effective across a range of temperatures and pH levels, making it valued in many formulations.
