What it is
Ethoxylated mono- and diglycerides are made by reacting mono- and diglycerides with ethylene oxide. Mono- and diglycerides are typically derived from the breakdown of fats and oils, which can be from plant or animal sources. This process creates emulsifiers that help blend ingredients that don't normally mix, like oil and water.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use ethoxylated mono- and diglycerides as emulsifiers and dough conditioners. They help improve the texture, volume, and shelf life of baked goods like breads and cakes. They are also used in frozen foods and other processed items to improve consistency.
Health notes
In the US, ethoxylated mono- and diglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated them, and EFSA has also reviewed their safety. Evidence suggests they are safe at typical consumption levels found in food. No significant health controversies are associated with their use.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. They are not derived from milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, or sesame. They do not contain gluten.
