What it is
Polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) is a synthetic emulsifier made from castor oil. It is produced by reacting polyglycerol with fatty acids derived from castor oil, specifically ricinoleic acid.
Why it's used
PGPR is used to improve the texture and flow properties of foods, especially in chocolate and confectionery. It helps reduce viscosity, allowing for smoother processing and a more even coating.
Health notes
In the US, PGPR is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated PGPR and established acceptable daily intake levels. Studies on PGPR have generally found it to be safe at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
PGPR is not derived from any of the nine major allergens and does not contain gluten.
