PGPR (Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate)

PGPR (Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate) is an advanced, highly effective emulsifier derived from the natural fatty acids of castor oil, making it an indispensable ingredient for manufacturers across the confectionery and food industries. At CanCastor, we supply premium-grade PGPR, meticulously engineered to optimize the rheological properties of fat-based systems, ensuring superior product performance and process efficiency. Renowned for its exceptional ability to significantly reduce viscosity in chocolate and compound coatings, PGPR empowers formulators to achieve unparalleled flow characteristics without compromising the delicate balance of taste or texture. This directly translates into streamlined production processes, enhanced mold filling accuracy, and improved enrobing capabilities, culminating in visually appealing, consistently smooth, and high-quality end products that captivate consumers.

Unlocking Optimal Viscosity for Superior Confectionery

Our PGPR acts as a powerful anti-bloom agent and viscosity modifier, playing a pivotal role in the efficient processing of chocolate, various fillings, and spreads. By precisely modifying the rheological properties of fat-based systems, it enables the creation of thinner, more manageable chocolate masses. This benefit is particularly pronounced during critical stages such as molding, coating, and tempering, where precise viscosity control is paramount for achieving desired outcomes. Manufacturers can strategically reduce the amount of expensive cocoa butter or other fats without sacrificing workability or the luxurious mouthfeel, leading to significant cost efficiencies and the potential for developing lower-fat product formulations that still deliver an indulgent sensory experience. Beyond its primary role in viscosity reduction, PGPR also contributes to improving the thermal stability and shelf-life of fat-continuous systems by inhibiting fat crystallization and bloom formation.

Technical Specifications & Broad Applications

CanCastor's Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate is a viscous, yellowish liquid, recognized for its excellent emulsifying and dispersing properties in non-aqueous systems. Our PGPR is a food-grade additive, produced under stringent quality controls that adhere to global food safety standards, including FCC and E476 designations. It is ideal for a diverse range of applications, including but not limited to:

• Confectionery: Enhancing flow in chocolate, compound coatings, enrobing, and fillings.
• Bakery: Improving texture and stability in fat-based bakery creams and fillings.
• Spreads & Margarines: Stabilizing emulsions and improving spreadability in low-fat products.
• Dressings: Acting as an emulsifier in certain salad dressings and sauces.
• Cosmetics & Pharmaceuticals: Used as an emulsifier or dispersing agent in specialized formulations (though our primary focus is food-grade).
