Molecular Structure

Dry yeast: Acts as the carrier of active yeast. Promotes dry yeast shape and maintains the bio-activity after hydration.
Margarine: Maintains fine and stable water-oil dispersion, Improves plasticity, Prevents splashing during frying.
Shortening: Adjusts oil crystal, Improves stability and whipping strength
Whipping cream: shortens whipping time, Improves foam volume and structure, Creates a nice and stiff foams.
Coffee-mate: Gives a more uniform fat globule size distribution resulting in improved whitening effect and dissolves in water well.
Cake emulsifier: Enlarges cake volume, Improves cake texture and paste stability, Prolongs shelf life.
Cake: Enlarges cake volume, Improves cake texture, Prolongs shelf life.
Ice cream: Promotes emulsifying if dairy fat, Prevents thick ice crystal, Improves mouth feel and shape retention. Increases bulging rate
Confectionary and chocolate: Improves oils and fat dispersion, Decreases syrup viscosity and adjusts crystallization of confectionaries.
Used as W/O emulsion explosive, preparation agent of textile, lubricant and softening agent of textile and leather.
