Propylene Glycol and the Pescatarian Diet
Propylene Glycol Esters of Fatty Acids, also known as E477, are a type of emulsifier that helps to stabilize and improve the texture of food products. They are created by reacting propylene glycol with natural fatty acids. These esters are versatile and widely used in the food industry, particularly in processed foods, to enhance the mix of ingredients that normally do not blend well, such as oil and water.
