One of the primary uses of potassium stearate is in baked goods such as breads, cakes, and cookies. It helps to improve the texture and consistency of these products, making them more moist, tender, and easy to slice. It is also used in confectionery, where it contributes to the smoothness and creaminess of chocolates and other candies.
Potassium stearate is also used in dairy products such as cheese and yogurt. It stabilizes the protein content, preventing separation and extending shelf life. It is also used in whipped cream and other toppings to prevent them from becoming too soft or runny.
Another important use for potassium stearate is in the production of chewing gum. It acts as a binder, holding the ingredients together and giving the gum its chewy texture. Potassium stearate also inhibits the crystallization of sugar, keeping the gum fresh and pliable for a longer period.
