Common questions about sodium stearoyl lactylate
What is sodium stearoyl lactylate used for?
Buyers mainly select SSL as a bakery emulsifier for dough strength, crumb softness and shelf life. It is also used in noodles, pasta, dairy analogues, processed foods, and in suitable cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations.
Is SSL the same as E481?
Yes. SSL is the common abbreviation for sodium stearoyl lactylate, also written as sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate or sodium stearoyl lactate and coded as E481 or E481(i) on labels. State the form and grade in the enquiry so the correct commercial type is quoted.
How does SSL differ from calcium stearoyl lactylate (CSL)?
SSL is the sodium salt (E481). CSL is the calcium analogue (E482) and is a different product with its own handling and formulation behaviour. This page covers sodium stearoyl lactylate only; request CSL separately if that is the material specified.
Which SSL form should I request for bakery use?
Food-grade powder suits dry dosing and many dry-mix systems. Flake or plastic solid grades are chosen where the plant prefers that physical form. Describe the bakery process and any current specification so the suitable form can be matched.
What specifications should a buyer provide for SSL?
State the intended application and any required limits for acid value, ester value, sodium content, lactic acid content, moisture and particle form. Where a recipe is already running, include the current specification or a representative sample requirement.
Can packing and documentation be confirmed with the quotation?
Yes. List the preferred pack format and any product documents needed with the enquiry. Available packing, documentation and commercial terms are confirmed for the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
