Sorbitan Esters
Sorbitan esters are a group of compounds that are derived from sorbitol. They are commonly used as emulsifiers, which means they help mix two substances that wouldn't usually mix together, such as oil and water.
Sorbitan esters are commonly found in a variety of food products, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. They help stabilize and prolong the shelf life of many products, as well as improve their texture and appearance.
