Abstract
Abstract Disclosed are emulsifiers useful in food products such as cakes, icings, cream fillings, whipped toppings, etc. The emulsifiers comprise a blend of monoglycerides, propylene glycol monoesters and an alkali metal salt of a fatty acid. The emulsifiers are essentially totally active and do not require the use of a carrier.
