Sorbitan Tristearate (Span 65) is a food-grade non-ionic highly lipophilic emulsifier (HLB 2.1) used for fat-bloom control in chocolate, crystallisation modification in fats, and W/O emulsion stabilisation.We supply bulk Sorbitan Tristearate sourced from leading China manufacturers for international food processing operations. Our Sorbitan Tristearate is widely used in chocolate fat-bloom prevention, shortenings crystallisation, confectionery, non-dairy fat systems and pastry shortenings.
Sorbitan Tristearate (Span 65) is produced by tri-esterification of sorbitan with food-grade stearic acid.
With HLB 2.1, it is the most lipophilic Span, primarily used as a fat-crystallisation modifier in chocolate (bloom inhibitor), margarine and shortenings, and as a co-emulsifier in W/O dairy systems.
