Erythorbyl laurate (EL) is a promising candidate for a multi-functional food additive.
Foam stability of EL was 3 times (half-life 24.3 h) higher than Tween 20 (8.0 h).
EL retains the antioxidant activity of erythorbic acid after C-5 selective esterification.
EL at the oil-water interface effectively inhibits lipid oxidation in O/W emulsions.
