Comparing E473 - Sucrose esters of fatty acids vs E487 - sodium dodecyl sulfate

Overview

E473 - Sucrose esters of fatty acids

Sucrose esters of fatty acids (E473) are emulsifiers made from table sugar and edible fats. They help oil and water mix, keep foams stable, and improve the texture of many foods. You’ll see them in small amounts across bakery, dairy alternatives, confectionery, and drinks.

E487 - sodium dodecyl sulfate

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (E487), also called sodium lauryl sulfate, is a strong surfactant used in small amounts to help foods foam, mix, or hold air. In the U.S. it’s allowed for specific uses like whipping and emulsifying, while rules differ in other regions.

Popular questions

  1. What is sucrose fatty acid esters?

    Sucrose fatty acid esters (E473) are emulsifiers made by reacting sucrose with food‑grade fatty acids (usually from vegetable or animal fats) to help oil and water mix and stabilize foams and textures in foods.

  2. How do you delete a song from a walkman nwz-e473?

    That device question is unrelated; E473 refers to sucrose esters of fatty acids, a food emulsifier used to stabilize and emulsify products.

  3. How long does the e473 online part take?

    There is no “online part” for food additive E473; it is simply an approved emulsifier used in foods under good manufacturing practice and relevant regulations.

  4. How much is psr e473 in nigeria?

    This appears to refer to a Yamaha PSR‑E473 keyboard; in foods, E473 is sucrose esters of fatty acids—an emulsifier ingredient rather than a retail product.

  5. How to create a playlist on sony walkman nwz-e473?

    Playlist instructions for a Walkman NWZ‑E473 are unrelated; E473 in foods is sucrose esters of fatty acids used to emulsify and stabilize products.

  1. What are nads used for?

    NaDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate, E487) is used in some foods as an anionic surfactant—primarily as a foaming/whipping agent, emulsifier, and wetting agent; it’s more commonly found in personal-care and cleaning products.

  2. What do nads do?

    It lowers surface tension so ingredients mix and foam more easily, helping disperse fats and improve whipping volume and texture in certain foods.

  3. What are nads good for?

    Creating and stabilizing foam, aiding emulsification, and improving wetting/dispersion of powders or oils in food formulations.

  4. What does nads mean?

    NaDS stands for sodium dodecyl sulfate (also called sodium lauryl sulfate), the food additive E487.

  5. What is nads supplement?

    There isn’t a NaDS supplement—it's not a nutrient; when present, NaDS is used as a technological food additive (surfactant), not for health benefits.
