And Diglycerides

And diglycerides are a mixture of mono-, di-, and triglycerides. They are produced by reacting edible fats and oils with glycerol, or by esterifying fatty acids with glycerol. This process creates emulsifying agents.

And diglycerides are used as emulsifiers in a variety of foods. They help to blend ingredients that don't normally mix, like oil and water. This improves texture and stability in products such as baked goods, ice cream, and processed meats.

And diglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of fatty acids, which are a necessary part of the diet. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated diglycerides and established acceptable daily intake levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
