What it is

Vegetable mono- and diglycerides are fats that are made from vegetable oils. They are created by combining glycerol with fatty acids, which are components of fats. This process results in a mixture that acts as an emulsifier.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add vegetable mono- and diglycerides to foods primarily to help mix ingredients that normally don't mix well, like oil and water. This improves texture and consistency. They are commonly found in baked goods such as cakes, muffins, and pastries, as well as in ice cream and margarine.

Health notes

Vegetable mono- and diglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a common food ingredient and are not associated with adverse health effects when consumed in typical amounts. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated them and found them to be safe for consumption.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. While derived from vegetable oils, the processing typically removes allergenic proteins. They do not contain gluten.
