Polysorbate 65

Polysorbate 65 is a surfactant derived from polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan tristearate. Polysorbate 65 helps blend water-based and oil-based ingredients in food, preventing separation. Similar to its close relatives, polysorbate 60 and 80, it can extend shelf life. While regulatory bodies consider it safe, some studies suggest potential adverse effects. Research links it to inflammation, gut health issues, and other concerns.
