Capmul
Capmul products are mono- and diglyceride emulsifiers prepared by glycerolysis of particular fats and oils. They are also prepared by esterification of glycerol or propylene glycol with selected fatty acids. Useful functions of these products include producing stable emulsions and viscosity modification. Capmul mono-and diglycerides are often found in bakery products, beverages, ice cream, chewing gum, shortening, whipped toppings, margarine, and confections.
Caprol
Caprol polyglycerol esters (PGE’s) are emulsifiers made by the esterification of select polglycerols with fatty acids or by alcoholysis of a vegetable oil with a polyglycerol. PGE molecular weights vary from low to very high and therefore, form at room temperature can vary from a viscous liquid to a brittle solid. The Caprol fatty acid moieties can be hydrolyzed from the polymer in the digestive system and then follow the normal fat metabolism model.
Captex
Captex products can be incorporated into foods targeted to people who are interested in maintaining a balanced body weight and health program but do not wish to compromise on the robust sensory characteristics provided by fats. Snacks, main meals, frozen, and refrigerated foods are all potential applications for medium chain triglycerides.
Pureco
Pureco oils have various uses as specialty lipids in food applications. These oils can be used as replacement fats, lubricants, and flavor carriers. Pureco oils also have the ability to be heated to relatively high temperatures without smoking or otherwise breaking down allowing fried foods to brown and cook quickly.
