Polyglycerin fatty acid esters and emulsified or solubilized compositions comprising them

摘要

The present invention relates to a polyglycerin fatty acid esters whose constituting fatty acid comprises not less than 70% by weight of palmitic acid and whose cloud point in a 7 wt % Na₂SO₄ solution at a concentration of 1% by weight is not lower than 55° C but not higher than 100° C. The said polyglycerin fatty acid esters have excellent O/W type fine emulsifying properties even under an acidic condition, capable of maintaining good flavor and also high in stability at low temperatures and suited for forming emulsified or solubilized compositions.
