Comparing E482 - Calcium stearoyl-2-lactylate vs E472B - Lactic acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids

E472B - Lactic acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids

Lactic acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E472b) are food emulsifiers that help oil and water mix, keep textures smooth, and improve the feel of baked goods. You’ll often see them in breads, cakes, whipped toppings, and dairy-style products where stable, fine texture matters.
