Polyoxyethylene (20) Sorbitan Monostearate (Polysorbate 60, Tween 60) is a food-grade non-ionic hydrophilic emulsifier used widely for O/W emulsions, dough conditioning and shortening-fat reduction in bakery and dairy applications.We supply bulk Polyoxyethylene (20) Sorbitan Monostearate sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in liquid form to meet global food industry demand. Our Polyoxyethylene (20) Sorbitan Monostearate is widely used in bakery dough conditioning, whipped toppings, whiteners, shortening systems and frozen desserts.
Polysorbate 60 is manufactured by ethoxylation of sorbitan monostearate with approximately 20 moles of ethylene oxide.
With HLB ~14.9, it delivers strong O/W emulsification and interacts with starches and proteins to soften crumb, improve volume and extend shelf life in bakery systems. It is also used in non-dairy creamers, whipped toppings and icings.
