Description
Re-Hydrating Agent (E491), also known as sorbitan monostearate can be made from direct esterification of sorbitol and stearic acid. It is a white to yellow waxy bead or flake with a slight characteristic smell. Considering its constituents it would be safe to say that sorbitan monostearate is likely to be vegan. And if it isn’t fully vegan, then still, the amount of animal-derived material in the product is likely to be quite low. Some of the common foods to include sorbitan monostearate are cake icing, pudding, imitation whipped cream, non-dairy creamers, yeast, and baked goods.
