Fat crystallization/rancidity
Sucrose esters can prevent fat bloom in chocolate and can increase the
creaming and wetting of fats or inhibit spattering of
frying oils.
Oil soluble sucrose esters inhibit the (further) crystallization of fats (bloom)
and oils during storage and make crystals finer. The relation between the
quality deterioration (rancidity) of hydrogenated coconut oils and fat
crystallization is well known; sucrose esters delay the increase in acid value and
peroxide value.
