Sorbitan Monostearate – an additive used in the bread bowl – is an ester of sorbitan (which is a sorbital derivative) and stearic acid (a fatty acid found in animal and plant fats).
The additive is made from sorbital (a sugar alcohol derived from corn or other berries and fruits) and animal or vegetable fats.
Sometimes referred to as a synthetic wax, Sorbitan Monostearate is primarily used as an emulsifier to enhance the activation and hydration of yeast.
Sorbital Monostearate is often used in processed foods such as mayonnaise, salad dressings, sauces, bread and other baked goods.
