What is polyricinoleate and why is it in chocolates?

Polyglycerol polyricinate (PGPR) is a yellowish, viscous liquid composed of polyglycerol esters of polycondensed fatty acids from castor oil. It may also be polyglycerol esters of dimerized fatty acids of soya bean oil. It is an emulsifier used in chocolate, especially in Hershey's and Nestle chocolates. It is used to reduce the fat content of the chocolate. It is also used as a replacement for cocoa butter, which is an expensive raw material for chocolate manufacturers. Using PGPR instead of cocoa butter is a lot cheaper for chocolate manufacturers; PGPR is primarily used in cheaper chocolates.

What does emulsifier 476 consists of?

Its chemical name is Polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR), or E476. PGRP is a yellowish, viscous liquid, and is strongly lipophilic: it is soluble in fats and oils and insoluble in water and ethanol. It is made up of a short chain of glycerol molecules connected by ether bonds, with ricinoleic acid side chains connected by ester bonds. E476 is an emulsifier made from glycerol and fatty acids (usually from castor bean, but also from soybean oil). In chocolate industry, to make compound chocolate and similar coatings, PGPR is mainly used with another substance like lecithin to reduce viscosity. It can also be used as an emulsifier in spreads and in salad dressings, or to improve the texture of baked goods.

Is E476 halal?

E471 is not haram if it is plant based. E471 can arrive from plant or animal. However, to know if it arrives from animal or plant, that is not easy as most of the time, the food product that we buy won't mention the source of E471. For more information, go to : http://www.veggieglobal.com/nutrition/non-vegetarian-food-additives.htm So, the conclusion here is, E471 can be halal, it can be haram. It all depends on its source. =)
