PGPR, as a highly lipophilic emulsifier, can significantly reduce the yield stress and viscosity of chocolate systems, reducing the amount of cocoa butter and cocoa butter substitutes required while maintaining the same fluidity. It is one of the key functional additives used in chocolate and cocoa products in conjunction with lecithin. Furthermore, as a bio-based surfactant derived from castor oil and glycerin, it aligns with consumers' growing preference for clean labels and natural ingredients.
