Description and Uses

Glycomul(R) S KFG (Span 60) is used as emulsifier for baked goods, icings & filings and whipped toppings. It is also used as a rehydration aid (production of active dry yeast) and as synthetic flavoring substances and adjuvants. 
It has only a very faint, oily-waxy odor, and a bitter taste in concentrations higher than 1000 ppm. However, its insolubility in water, and the fact that it is used mostly with large amounts of sugar (and acid) account for the much higher use level without any serious influence upon the flavor of the finished product.
