What’s special about Puratos emulsifiers?
The Puratos Multec Emulsifiers use high-quality vegetable oil, palm oil or rapeseed oil as their primary raw materials. Through our RSPO membership, we also ensure that our palm oil emulsifiers are sustainably sourced and produced, and through our engagement with RSPO initiatives we have achieved Mass Balance and Segregated certification. What’s more, for customers looking for 100% palm oil-free emulsifiers, we offer a full range derived entirely from rapeseed.

Multec Mono range
Mono-and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471) – widely used in bakery and patisserie products to improve eating properties, soften the crumb and provide aeration capabilities.
