What it is
Distilled vegetable monoglycerides are a type of emulsifier made from vegetable oils. They are produced by heating vegetable oils and then separating the monoglycerides, which are fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule.
Why it's used
These are added to foods as emulsifiers, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients. They improve texture and shelf life in products like baked goods, ice cream, and margarine.
Health notes
Distilled vegetable monoglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of fatty acids, which are part of a balanced diet. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated emulsifiers, and they are widely used without significant controversy at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Derived from vegetable oils, not typically a source of allergens.
