Product introduction:
Polysorbate 80 (commercially also known as Tween 80, a registered trademark of ICI Americas, Inc. ) is a
nonionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from polyethoxylated sorbitan and oleic acid, and is often used
in foods. Polysorbate 80 is a viscous, water soluble yellow liquid. The hydrophilic groups in this compound
are polyethers also known as polyoxyethylene groups which are polymers of ethylene oxide. In the
nomenclature of polysorbates, the numeric designation following polysorbate refers to the lipophilic group,
in this case the oleic acid (see polysorbate for more detail).
