Polyglycerol Esters & PGPR
E475, E476
E475, E476, polyglycerol esters of fatty acids, polyglycerol fatty acid esters, polyglycerol polyricinoleate, polyglycerol polyricinoleate PGPR, PGPR
What it is
A texture/emulsifier grouping covering polyglycerol esters of fatty acids (E475) and polyglycerol polyricinoleate, PGPR (E476).
Why BOTIA flags it
BOTIA groups these declarations because E475 and E476 share polyglycerol-based naming but are distinct additives. PGPR should not be confused with sucrose esters or with generic mono- and diglycerides.
BOTIA CAN
- Detect E475, E476, polyglycerol esters and PGPR declarations.
- Show the texture and E-number context while preserving the distinction between E475 and E476.
BOTIA CANNOT
- Determine concentration or exact ester composition from the ingredient list.
- Treat E475 and E476 as chemically identical.
