FORMULATORY EXPERTISE
Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate and Polyglyceryl-10 Dioleate were used to support the stabilization of Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate and Hydroxypropyl Starch, which function as rheology modifiers and sensorial powders. To activate the thickening effect of Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate, high shear and heating up to 70 °C are required.
For oil droplet stabilization, an O/W emulsifier system was applied. Although Polyglyceryl Diisostearate is typically used in W/O systems, its modification with Cyclodextrin reverses its emulsifying behavior.
