It is derived from castor oil and polyglycerol, and works by lowering the yield value of chocolate \u2014 the force needed to start the mass flowing \u2014 making it easier to mold, enrobe, and coat products with a thinner, more uniform layer.<\/p>\r\n<p>PGPR is often used in combination with soy lecithin: lecithin primarily reduces plastic viscosity, while PGPR targets yield value, and together they provide optimal flow at lower total fat content. Typical dosage in chocolate is 0.1\u20130.5% of the total mass. This allows manufacturers to reduce the amount of expensive <a href=\"https:\/\/tehnologam.com\/en\/key-words\/cocoa-butter\/\">cocoa butter<\/a> in formulations while maintaining the same coating thickness and processing behavior. PGPR is approved for use in food products by the EU, FDA, and most international regulatory bodies.<\/p>\r\n<p>Learn more about <strong>PGPR<\/strong> \u2014 including dosage guidelines, interaction with other emulsifiers, and effects on chocolate quality \u2014 in the articles below.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/tehnologam.com\/en\/key-words\/pgpr\/","name":"PGPR","slug":"pgpr","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>PGPR (E476) - Chocolate Emulsifier Guide &amp; Dosage Tips<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"PGPR is an emulsifier used in chocolate to reduce viscosity and improve flow.
