APPLICATION

– Humectant: Propylene glycol is actively used in the confectionery and bakery industries to maintain the moisture content of products, preventing them from drying out. For example, in the production of cakes, pies and cookies, where it is necessary to maintain softness and freshness for a long time.

– Sweetener: Used in low-calorie foods, as it has a sweet taste, but not as intense as regular sugar.

– Solvent: Propylene glycol is used as a solvent for various food additives, flavorings and dyes to ensure their uniform distribution in the product composition.

– Preservative: Due to its moisture-saving properties, propylene glycol can extend the shelf life of some products, such as sauces, soups and other liquid products.

– Emulsifier: Propylene glycol is also used in the production of emulsions in sauces, creams and other products where it is necessary to achieve a stable consistency.

– Beverages and alcoholic products: Propylene glycol is used in some non-alcoholic beverages to stabilize taste and texture, as well as in the production of aromatic beverages.

– Products for special diets: Propylene glycol is used in the production of dietary products for people with special dietary needs, such as gluten-free or low-calorie products.
