Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate (SAIB) is a food-grade modified sugar ester used as a weighting agent and emulsion stabiliser in citrus-oil-containing beverages.We supply bulk Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in liquid form for food and beverage manufacturers worldwide. Our Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate is widely used in beverage weighting agent, drinks, flavour oil density adjuster and beverages.
SAIB is an ester of sucrose with acetic and isobutyric acids. It functions as a density-adjusting (weighting) agent for flavour oils in beverages, keeping citrus and other flavour oil emulsions stable and preventing ringing or separation.
Approved as E444 in the EU and GRAS in the US. Used primarily in non-alcoholic citrus beverages where brominated vegetable oil (BVO) alternatives are needed.
