DescriptionPolysorbate 60 is an emulsifier, opacifier, protective coating, dough conditioner, dispersant, wetting agent, stabiliser, defoamer, poultry scald agent, flavour.Polysorbates are a class of emulsifiers used in some pharmaceuticals and food preparation. They are often used in cosmetics to solubilize essential oils into water-based products. Polysorbates are oily liquids derived from PEG-ylated sorbitan (a derivative of sorbitol) esterified with fatty acids. (Wikipedia).
