Sorbitan Monostearate - Product Description

Sorbitan monostearate is a synthetic ester made by the reaction of Sorbitan with stearic acid under controlled conditions. SMS is used in the manufacture of food and healthcare products as a non-ionic surfactant with emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties. It is also employed to create synthetic fibers, metal machining fluid, and as a brightener in the leather industry. It is used in yeast manufacturing to protect the yeast from excess drying and also helps rehydrate the yeast cells.
