Application areas

1. Food Industry	It is commonly used as an emulsifier, thickener, anti-crystallization agent, stabilizer, and humectant, increasing the viscosity and stability of food and improving its taste, texture, appearance, and stability. In baked goods, it prevents ice crystal formation and extends the product's freshness. Furthermore, in sauces, condiments, and gravies, it acts as a thickener and preservative, giving products a smooth, creamy texture and inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi.
2. Beverage industry	As an antifoaming agent, it solves the foaming problem in beer and soft drink production.
3. Manufacturing	As a coolant and antifreeze, it lowers the freezing point of the liquid and prevents the cooling system from freezing. It is commonly used in automobiles, industrial equipment, and air conditioning systems to ensure that the liquid can still flow under cold conditions.
4. Pharmaceutical manufacturing industry
5. Daily chemical industry	It is used as a wetting agent and consistency regulator, and is often used in products such as creams, lotions, toothpaste, shaving creams, and detergents. It is also suitable for non-rinsing hair care products, giving hair a silky shine.
6. Industrial Manufacturing	It can be used as an additive, diluent, or surface treatment agent in fields such as lubricating oil, coatings, paints, pulp, and textiles.
