What it is

Mono- and diglycerides are a type of fat that can be made from animal or vegetable sources. They are created by combining glycerol with fatty acids. This process is called esterification.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add mono- and diglycerides to foods primarily to help mix ingredients that normally don't mix well, like oil and water. This property, known as emulsification, helps improve texture and consistency in products such as ice cream, baked goods, and margarine.

Health notes

Mono- and diglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are common in the diet as they are found in many foods, and studies have not shown adverse health effects from typical consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated them and found them to be safe.

Allergen info

Mono- and diglycerides are not derived from any of the nine major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
