| Application | Function | Suggested Dosage |
| Dry yeast | Acts as the carrier of active yeast.Promotes dry yeast shape and maintains the bio-activity after hydration. | 10%-15% of water, 1% of dry yeast |
| Margarine | Maintains fine and stable water-oil dispersion. Improves plasticity.Prevents splashing during frying. | 1-1.5% |
| Shortening | Adjusts oil crystal.Improves stability and whipping strength | 1-1.5% |
| Whipping cream | Shortens whipping time.Improves foam volume and structure. Creates a nice and stiff foams. | 0.2-0.5%, usually with DMG and PGE |
| Coffee-mate | Gives a more uniform fat globule size distribution resulting in improved Whitening effect and dissolves in water well. | 0.5-1% of oil and fat, usually with DMG |
| Cake emulsifier | Enlarges cake volume.Improves cake texture and paste stability.Prolongs shelf life. | 3-5%, usually with DMG, PGE and PGMS |
| Cake | Enlarges cake volume.Improves cake texture. Prolongs shelf life. | 0.5% of flour, usually using cake gel directly |
| Bread | Enlarges volume and improves texture. | 0.3% of flour, usually using mixed emulsified oils and fats |
| Ice cream | Promotes emulsifying if dairy fat.Prevents thick ice crystal.Improves mouth feel and shape retention. Increases bulging rate | 0.1-0.3%, usually with DMG |
| Confections and chocolate | Improves oils and fat dispersion.Decreases syrup viscosity and adjusts Crystallization of confections. | 0.3-1%, usually with Tween 60 |
| Protein beverage | Prevents delamination and sedimentation. Provides smooth mouth feel. | 0.3-0.6%, usually with DMG |
| Solid drinks | Improves water-solubility and strengthens whitening. | 0.2-0.3% |
