So, what is stearone?
Stearone is a white, waxy substance derived from stearic acid, a saturated fatty acid found in animal and vegetable fats. It has a faint odor and is insoluble in water but soluble in alcohol and ether. Stearone is commonly used as a flavoring agent in the food industry due to its mild, creamy, and buttery taste. It is also used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener in a variety of food products, including confectionery, baked goods, and dairy products. Stearone is considered safe for consumption and is approved for use by regulatory bodies, such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
