Factory supply Food Emulsifiers and Stabilizer Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate SSL E481
What is Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate (SSL)?
SSL is a versatile emulsifier used in bread, buns and other bakery products as a dough strengthener and crumb softener. Due to its ionic and nonpolar nature, it is able to interact with gluten proteins promoting their aggregation. Its nonpolar portion allows it to interact with the hydrophobic regions of starch to delay the onset of staling.
