Technical Document

Mono Propylene Glycol Mono propylene glycol is a synthetic organic compound derived from propylene oxide, valued for its humectant, solvent, and stabilizer properties across industries. In the food industry, it retains moisture in baked goods, acts as a carrier for flavors and colors, and prevents crystallization in icings and fillings while ensuring smooth textures. It also serves as an emulsifier in low-fat products and a preservative aid in confections.
