Sorbitan Monolaurate is a mixture of esters formed from the fatty acid lauric acid and polyols derived from sorbitol, including sorbitan and isosorbide.
As a food additive, Sorbitan Monolaurate is designated with the E number E493.

Sorbitan Monolaurate is a food emulsifier, solubiliser, crystallisation retarder, dough improver, antifoam agent, stabiliser Sorbitan laurate belongs to the family of Pentoses.
These are monosaccharides in which the carbohydrate moiety contains five carbon atoms.

Sorbitan Monolaurate melts at 93 to 98 C depending on the form.

Sorbitan Monolaurate is used as:
-sweetening agent
-food additive
-toothpaste
-tobacco
-toiletries and in cosmetics

Sorbitan Monolaurate is used for vitamin-C fermentation.
Sorbitan Monolaurate is used as a excipient and intravenous osmotic diuretic in pharmaceutical fields. Sorbitan Monolaurate is also used in the manufacture of polyethers for polyurethanes and surfactants.

The term sorbitan describes the anhydride form of sorbitol, whose fatty acids are lipophilic whereas sorbitol body is hydrophilic.
This bifunctionality in one molecule provides the basic properties useful in cleaners, detergents, polymer additives, and textile industry as emulsifiers, wetting agents, and viscosity modifiers.

Sorbitan esters are rather lipophilic (or hydrophobic) surfactants exhibiting low HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance) values; having an affinity for, tending to combine with, or capable of dissolving in lipids
The chemical structure of the Sorbitan laurate combines a good environmental profile, especially in terms of ready biodegradability and no harmful effects on aquatic life, with the structural features required for their manifold uses.

Sorbitan Monolaurate has to be considered as a substance that is omnipresent due to its numerous uses by the general public and its industrial uses.
