SEFA
Most Sucrose Esters will fall under the higher HLB ranges of 4-16 with a Stearic Acid type being the most common due to its relative tastelessness and being perceived as odorless. Most applications will use SEFA grades.
SOE
Lower HLB grades of 1 and 2 Sucrose Esters fall under SOE. Primarily used in high oil products and with acids ranging from Oleic, Stearic, and Palmitic.
Applications
- Chocolate – to help with viscosity, bloom retardation, texture control, sweating resistance, improved snapping properties, and improved ganache quality
- Dairy – to help with texture, stabilization and overrun
- Gummies – to reduce stickiness and improve flowability
- Bakery – to improve freeze resistance, increase volume, and improve mouth feel
- Noodles – reduced stickiness, prevents retrogradation, shortens time to softening
- RTD Beverages – to help with emulsification and bacteriostatic effect even in low pH environments
- Tablets – Improved flowability and smoother finish
- Margarine/Shortening – Improved emulsion and crystal formation
