Sucrose Fatty Acid Ester is a compound made from sucrose and fatty acids linked by ester bonds. It is a white to pale yellow powder or wax or lump, or a colorless to slightly yellow viscous liquid, odorless or slightly greasy odor, slightly sweet and bitter taste. Sucrose Fatty Acid Ester is usually insoluble in water at room temperature, but can be dissolved in organic solvents such as ethanol, chloroform and dimethylbenzene.

Sucrose esters of fatty acids, commonly known as sucrose esters (E473), are a special type of emulsifiers. Sucrose esters have several benefits besides emulsification, such as starch interaction, protein protection, sugar crystallisation and aeration.
Sucrose esters are made by chemically combining sucrose and fatty acids. They have a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) that allows them to bind to both water and oil, making them emulsifiers.
