Sucrose esters of fatty acids, also known as sugar esters or E473, are compounds formed by the esterification of sucrose with fatty acids. These esters function primarily as emulsifiers, helping to stabilize mixtures of oil and water, which is essential in many processed foods. The fatty acids used can come from either plant or animal sources, making it important for those with specific dietary restrictions to verify the source.
