The common name of Polyglycerol polyricinoleate is PGPR. It is an emulsifier often used in food products to improve texture and stability, particularly in chocolate and confections. PGPR helps to reduce viscosity and allows for better mixing of ingredients.
Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate (PGPR), E476, is an emulsifier used in the making of chocolate. It is made from castor beans which help reduce the viscosity of chocolate allowing it to flow more easily when melted.
Commercial chocolate manufacturers use this emulsifier, also called polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) in the chemical form, as a cheaper replacement for cocoa butter in commercial-grade chocolate bars.
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.
Yes it is. Just, like Play D'oh, it's non-toxic and won't kill you soon enough to establish causality. It's has been added to chocolate bars in the last few years to replace cocoa butter, which is what makes chocolate, chocolate.
Yes, E476, also known as polyglycerol polyricinoleate, is considered vegetarian. It is an emulsifier derived from glycerol and fatty acids, typically sourced from plants. However, it's always best to check the specific product's labeling or contact the manufacturer for confirmation, as formulations can change.
Milk chocolate (sugar, unsweetened chocolate, cocoa butter, milk ingredients, lactose, soya lecithin, polyglycerol polyricinoleate, artificial flavour), rice crisps (rice flour, sugar, modified palm oil, glucose, salt, calcium carbonate). Made on equipment that also processes peanuts/nuts. Contains traces of wheat gluten.
Polyglycerol is derived from the polymerization of glycerol, which is a simple carbohydrate and a byproduct of soap production and biodiesel manufacturing. It can also be synthesized through the condensation of glycerol in the presence of catalysts. Polyglycerol is used in various applications, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, due to its emulsifying and moisturizing properties.

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.
