Ice Cream with sauce
Giannis UK launched an ice cream with sauce. The sauce contains sucrose esters. As it is a marshmallow sauce, it is probably aerated. Sucrose esters are excellent aerators because they decrease the surface tension between water and air.
Buns with icing
Asda UK launched buns with icing. Sucrose esters are in the icing. Probably, in the white icing (swirl on top), as they ensure smooth texture, good shape retention, and a white colour. Of course, sucrose esters can also be used in the chocolate icing, where they can also emulsify the oil.
Plant-based milk
Sante A. Kowalski in Poland launched a plant-based milk based on oats. The fat content is 3.5%, similar to whole milk. Where dairy milk contains proteins that emulsify the fat, plant-based milks lack these proteins. That is where sucrose esters can do their job; create very small oil droplets and ensure a stable emulsion.
Gluten-free cake
Obrador in Spain launched a gluten-free cake with sucrose esters. Sucrose esters improve the softness of the crumb and give a non-sticky, very fine, light crumb. Furthermore, they increase the volume and extend shelf life due to their interaction with starch.
