Food Emulsifiers

Ivanhoe operates hot oil esterification reactors that allow us to manufacture emulsifiers that are approved for use as direct food additives and have function as dispersants, stabilizers, or solubilizers for other food additive formulations. Many of our emulsifiers are made with Non-GMO ingredients, some carrying the Project Non-GMO certification. We also manufacture emulsifiers using RSPO Mass Balance certified palm oil based components and have Non-Palm options available. Ivanhoe’s technical sales team will provide assistance with selecting the correct emulsifier for your food processing application.

Polyglycerol esters of fatty acids (PGEs) are polymers of glycerin and fatty acids derived from vegetable sources. PGEs can be made to have a wide range of HLBs and are popular choices to replace emulsifiers made from synthetic materials such as polysorbates. Ivanhoe’s PGEs are approved for use as an emulsifier for food per 21 CFR 172.854 and are Non-GMO compliant.

The benefits of Polyglycerol Esters of Fatty Acids include:

• Polysorbate Replacement
• PEG Free & 1,4-Dioxane Free
• No Prop 65 Chemicals 

• 100% Plant Based & Renewable
• RSPO & Palm Free Options
• Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS)
• Non-GMO, Kosher, Halal

• Water or Oil Solubility

• Non-Allergenic
• Clean Label Option

Mono- and Diglycerides (MDGs) are oil soluble surfactants made via the esterification of glycerin and fatty acids. MDGs have a wide range of approved uses in food per 21 CFR 184.1505 which include emulsifiers, lubricants, release agents, flavoring adjuvants, formulations aids, and others.

Ivanhoe offers Non-GMO and Non-Palm varieties.

Sorbitan esters are oil soluble surfactants made by the esterification of sorbitol and fatty acids. They are often combined with water soluble surfactants, like polysorbates, to make stable emulsions. Each sorbitan ester has specific FDA clearances and use restrictions, but is approved as an emulsifier in a wide range of foods.

Polysorbates are water soluble surfactants that are made by reacting sorbitan esters with ethylene oxide. Each polysorbate has specific FDA clearances and use restrictions, but are approved for a wide range of applications such as emulsifiers, solubilizing and dispersing agent, defoaming agent, and flavoring adjuvant.

Non-GMO polysorbates are available upon request.
