Learn more about esters
An ester is a combination of an acid (carbonic acid) and an alcohol (hydroxyl-group). Esters are stable due to a “strong” covalent bond in an acid environment. The function of esters are: flavor, aroma/perfumes, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. It enhances non-corrosivity. The esterifying technology has proven to be:
-
Effective at lower dosage (high concentration)
-
Promote a homogenous spread due to the ester’s ability to reduce surface tension
-
Esters of fatty acids are well known emulsifiers and surfactants
