Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate
Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate - A Versatile Food Additive by Tricon
Tricon offers high-quality Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate (SSL), a versatile and biodegradable emulsifier widely used in the food, cosmetic, and personal care industries. Manufactured from lactic acid, stearic acid, and sodium salts, SSL appears as a white to ivory, free-flowing powder or brittle flake. It is valued for its excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and conditioning properties that enhance product texture, consistency, and overall performance.
In the food industry, SSL (E481) is especially recognized as a reliable dough conditioner. It strengthens gluten networks, improves dough tolerance during processing, and increases baked product volume. Bread made with SSL typically has a softer crumb structure, better sliceability, and extended freshness due to its ability to slow staling. Beyond bakery products such as bread, cakes, and biscuits, SSL is also used in whipped toppings, dairy formulations, and processed foods to maintain stable oil-in-water emulsions and prevent ingredient separation. Even in small quantities, it delivers noticeable improvements in texture and shelf life.
In cosmetic and personal care applications, SSL functions as an effective emulsifier and mild surfactant. It helps blend oil and water phases in creams, lotions, and haircare products, ensuring smooth application and consistent stability. Its conditioning properties leave skin feeling soft and moisturized, making it suitable for modern skincare formulations.
Tricon ensures consistent quality, reliable supply, and compliance with industry standards. Our Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate is carefully processed to meet performance expectations across industries. With a focus on purity, stability, and technical support, Tricon is committed to delivering dependable SSL solutions tailored to your manufacturing needs
