Propylene Glycol (E1520)

• Highly Effective Solvent and Carrier Propylene Glycol (E1520) is widely recognized for its ability to dissolve and carry a variety of food-grade ingredients, including flavors, colors, and antioxidants. This versatility ensures even dispersion and enhanced stability in final products.
• Moisture-Retaining and Humectant Properties As a powerful humectant, Propylene Glycol (E1520) helps retain moisture in food products, extending shelf life and improving texture, especially in baked goods, confectionery, and snack items.
• Thermal and Chemical Stability E1520 remains stable under various processing conditions, including high temperatures and pH variations. This makes it ideal for use in heat-treated and long shelf-life products without risk of degradation.
• Flavor Enhancement and Distribution By acting as a neutral and efficient medium, Propylene Glycol (E1520) supports consistent flavor distribution and can even enhance the perception of taste in flavored foods and beverages.
• Food-Grade and Globally Approved Produced under strict quality standards, Propylene Glycol (E1520) is food-grade, odorless, and nearly tasteless. It is approved for use in food applications in most global markets, including the EU, US, and APAC regions.

Propylene Glycol (E1520) is a clear, viscous, odorless liquid widely used as a solvent, humectant, and stabilizer in food production. As a diol alcohol, it combines functional benefits with excellent safety and compatibility across a wide range of applications.

• Solubilizer for Active Ingredients: Ensures uniformity and stability for flavors, extracts, colors, and nutrients in complex food matrices.
• Texture and Freshness Enhancer: Improves softness and chewiness in baked goods by retaining moisture and preventing drying.
• Low Toxicity and GRAS Status: Recognized as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA, making it suitable for use even in sensitive formulations.

Storage and Handling Guidelines:

• Temperature & Humidity: Store at room temperature (15–25°C) in tightly sealed containers, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Protect from moisture and air exposure to prevent oxidation.
• Shelf Life: Stable for up to 24 months under recommended storage conditions. Keep container sealed when not in use to maintain purity and performance.
