Sorbitan palmitate

Sorbitan palmitate is a chemical compound also known by the names 1,4-Anhydro-D-glucitol, 6-hexadecanoate; Sorbitan monopalmitate; Sorbitan esters, monohexadecanoate; and Sorbitan monopalmitate. This substance is one of the emulsifiers used in the food industry to stabilize products such as ice cream, creams, sauces and salad dressings. The role of an emulsifier, in short, is to combine two immiscible substances, such as fat and water, and keep them in a stable state.

However, sorbitan palmitate is not only used in the food industry. In addition to stabilising food products, sorbitan palmitate is also used in the cosmetics industry. It can be found in various types of creams, lotions and make-up, where it acts as an emulsifier and an auxiliary to facilitate the application of cosmetics. Due to its properties, sorbitan palmitate is also a component of some pharmaceuticals, where it aids the solubility of the active ingredients. In the pharmaceutical industry, it plays a role not only as an emulsifier but also as a softening and dispersing agent.
