Polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR), E476, is an emulsifier made in a three-step process from glycerol and fatty acids (usually castor bean derived). PGPR reduces the viscosity of chocolate and similar coatings and compounds. It works by decreasing the friction between the particles of cocoa, sugar, milk, etc. present so they can flow more easily when melted. It is used at low levels (below 1%).
PGPR is a yellowish, viscous liquid composed ofpolyglycerol esters of fatty acids from castor oil. It may also be polyglycerol esters of dimerized fatty acids of soybean oil.It can also be used as an emulsifier in spreads and in salad dressings or as a crystal inhibitor and anticlouding agent in fractionated vegetable oils.
