So, what is stearamide oxide?

Stearamide oxide is a waxy white solid that is commonly used as a surfactant in various industries, including the food industry. It is made by reacting stearic acid with a tertiary amine oxide. As a surfactant, stearamide oxide helps to reduce the surface tension of liquids and improve the wetting properties of food ingredients. It is often used in baked goods, dairy products, and other processed foods as an emulsifier and stabilizer. Stearamide oxide is generally recognized as safe by the US Food and Drug Administration and is considered a low-risk food ingredient.
