Polysorbate 80 Traditional Emulsifiers Cas9005-64-5 Nonionic Surfactant For O/W Emulsion

Applications

Food use:

Emu TW80 is used as an emulsifier in foods, particularly in ice cream. Here, polysorbate is added to up to 0.5% (v/v) concentration and makes the ice cream smoother and easier to handle, as well as increasing its resistance to melting.[4] Adding this substance prevents milk proteins from completely coating the fat droplets. This allows them to join together in chains and nets, which hold air in the mixture, and provide a firmer texture that holds its shape as the ice cream melts.

Medical use:

Emu TW80 is an excipient that is used to stabilize aqueous formulations of medications for parenteral administration, and used as an emulsifier in the manufacture of the popular anti-arrhythmic amiodarone. It is also used as an excipient in some European and Canadian influenza vaccines. It is also used in the culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Middlebrook 7H9 broth. Emu TW80 is also used in some eye drops

Cosmetic Use:

Used as emulsifier in various kinds of O/W emulsion
