It is often added to confectionery, iced cheesecakes, ice cream, beverages or yoghurt. But it can also be found in pharmaceutical products, where it acts as a plasticizer and surfactant, or in cosmetic products as a consistency ingredient. It is also used in the production of waxes, resins, paper and textiles. Although the substance is considered safe, allergic reactions may occur in sensitive individuals.
