Lactylates are organic compounds that are FDA approved for use as food additives and cosmetic ingredients, e.g. as food-grade emulsifiers. These additives are non-toxic, [1] [2] biodegradable, [3] and typically manufactured using biorenewable feedstocks.
For example, in the UK, food companies are required to include the "E number(s)" in the ingredients that are added as part of the manufacturing process. Many components of naturally occurring healthy foods and vitamins have assigned E numbers (and the number is a synonym for the chemical component), e.g. vitamin C ( E300 ) and lycopene ( E160d ...
Examples of food emulsifiers are: Egg yolk – in which the main emulsifying and thickening agent is lecithin. Mustard [23] – where a variety of chemicals in the mucilage surrounding the seed hull act as emulsifiers; Soy lecithin is another emulsifier and thickener; Pickering stabilization – uses particles under certain circumstances
Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471) are a naturally occurring class of food additive composed of diglycerides and monoglycerides used as an emulsifier in foods such as infant formula, fresh pasta, jams and jellies, chocolate, creams, baked goods, and more. [1] It is also used as a fruit coating agent.
Food additives are substances added to food to preserve flavor or enhance taste, appearance, or other sensory qualities. Some additives, such as vinegar ( pickling ), salt ( salting ), smoke ( smoking ) and sugar ( crystallization ), have been used for centuries to preserve food .
Polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR), E476, is an emulsifier made from glycerol and fatty acids (usually from castor bean, but also from soybean oil). In chocolate, compound chocolate and similar coatings, PGPR is mainly used with another substance like lecithin [2] to reduce viscosity.

As described by the Food Chemicals Codex 7th edition, SSL is a cream-colored powder or brittle solid. [1] SSL is currently manufactured by the esterification of stearic acid with lactic acid and partially neutralized with either food-grade soda ash (sodium carbonate) or caustic soda (concentrated sodium hydroxide).
