Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate (SSL)

Anionic emulsifier used in bread, bun and sweet-dough systems as a dough strengthener and crumb softener, and in some non-bakery systems as an emulsifier and whipping aid.

Powder or agglomerated presentation, dispersion behaviour in the dough or the fat phase, dosing route (dry blend, improver premix or fat carrier), interaction with the flour and the process, and destination permitted-use status decide which lot fits.

Commercial grades and presentations of the same ingredient are handled inside this record, not as separate products. The grade you need and the functional targets it must meet are fixed with the specification at quotation.

This page carries no assay, purity, moisture, fat, ash, particle-size, activity, colour-value or microbiological figure. Those values belong to a tested lot produced on a specific plant and process line, move lot to lot, and are quoted from supplier documentation for the material actually offered. Nothing on this page is a specification.

Allzone trades this ingredient as a global B2B principal. Sourcing is opened to every commercially suitable origin, and supply is arranged to any destination we can legally and commercially serve. Where a Canadian or North American origin fits the specification, the quantity and the delivery window, it is worked first because it usually shortens the route and simplifies documentation. Origin is an offer attribute, decided per enquiry.

Bakery, chocolate and snack ingredients are sensitive to moisture, heat and odour pickup. Storage temperature, humidity control, pallet handling, container stuffing and transit season materially affect what arrives. Packing format, liner specification, container conditioning and any temperature-controlled routing are agreed as part of the offer, not assumed.

Allergen status depends on the producing plant, not on this page. Allzone publishes no allergen-free, gluten-free, segregated-line or cross-contact claim. The supplier's allergen control programme and allergen statement, together with any kosher, halal, non-GMO or vegetarian/vegan declarations you require, are supplied as documentation with a specific offer.

Permitted use, maximum levels, category restrictions and labelling for food ingredients differ by destination market and finished-product category. Allzone asserts no approval, permitted-use or compliance status on this page. The applicable route, permits, certificates and declarations are checked and confirmed in writing before an offer is treated as final.

Certificate of analysis, supplier specification sheet, safety data sheet where applicable, allergen statement, GMO, kosher and halal declarations where requested, production and expiry lot data, packing list and lot traceability. Which documents apply depends on the destination and the finished product, and is confirmed before an offer is treated as final.

Every enquiry is quoted, never listed. Tell us the ingredient, the functional parameters you buy on, the quantity, the destination, the packing you need, any origin or certification preference, and the documents your quality team requires. We then run the supplier search, compare routes and return a landed offer.
