Humectants food additives

Uses. Polyester resins use up about 60% of the propylene glycol (and most of the dipropylene glycol) manufactured. The remainder is used as a tobacco and cosmetic humectant. (a chemical that keeps moisture around), automotive antifreeze and brake fluid ingredients, food additive, and plasticizers for various resins, and making nonionic detergents and coatings. Propylene glycol is an excellent solvent. 

Propylene glycol. looks like propane with hydroxyl groups, -OH, substituted for a hydrogen on two adjacent carbons. Propylene glycol is also used to make polymers and in a variety of smaller applications such as solvents, humectants, and food additives.

Technologically required functional effects can also be achieved by intentionally employing various food additives — food colors, sweeteners, and a host of other compounds — that are not regarded as foodstuffs per se, but are used to modify the rheological properties or acidity, increase the color stability or shelf life, or act as humectants or flavor enhancers (Rutkowski et al., 1997).

During the last lew years, important research has gone into the addition of multiple humectants and water to food systems. Studies have shown that a hysteresis effect may occur with certain humectants. i.e, a different rate of moisture absorption than the rate for moisture desorption. Multiple humectants tend to compensate these hysteresis effects, giving uniform rates in both directions.
