Polysorbate is a class of emulsifiers commonly used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. It is a type of surfactant, which means it can help stabilize and mix substances that do not naturally combine, such as oil and water. Polysorbates are made by esterifying sorbitol with fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats. The most well-known and widely used polysorbates are Polysorbate 20 (Tween 20), Polysorbate 40 (Tween 40), Polysorbate 60 (Tween 60), Polysorbate 80 (Tween 80), and Polysorbate 85 (Tween 85).

In the food industry, polysorbates are often used as emulsifiers to create stable mixtures of oil and water, preventing separation and improving texture. They can be found in various food products, including baked goods, ice cream, salad dressings, and processed foods.

In the pharmaceutical industry, polysorbates are utilized as solubilizers and emulsifiers in drug formulations to enhance the absorption and bioavailability of certain medications.

In the cosmetic industry, polysorbates are utilized in skincare and personal care products, such as lotions, creams, and shampoos, to create stable emulsions and improve the consistency of the products.
