The food industry relies heavily on emulsifiers to achieve desirable textures, improve stability, and extend the shelf life of a wide array of products. Sorbitan Monooleate, commonly known as Span 80 (CAS 1338-43-8), is a valuable nonionic surfactant and emulsifier that plays a significant role in specific food applications. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., a leading chemical manufacturer and supplier in China, is committed to providing high-quality food-grade ingredients, including Span 80, to meet the diverse needs of food manufacturers.

Span 80 in Food Formulations

Span 80 is a sorbitan ester with a low HLB value (around 4.3), which makes it particularly effective in stabilizing water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions. While its counterpart, Tween 80 (with a high HLB), is more widely used for oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, Span 80 has its niche applications in the food sector:

  • Margarine and Shortening: Span 80 is utilized in the production of margarine and shortening. In these products, it helps to maintain a fine and stable dispersion of water within the fat or oil phase. This contributes to improved plasticity, texture, and prevents splashing during cooking processes.
  • Bakery Products: In certain bakery items, Span 80 can be used to adjust oil crystallization and improve the stability and whipping strength of doughs and batters. It can also contribute to increased cake volume and improved texture.
  • Other Fat-Based Products: Its ability to stabilize W/O emulsions makes it suitable for other fat-based food products where controlling the dispersion of water within oil is critical for product integrity and sensory attributes.
