What it is

Mono and diglycerides are a type of fat that are commonly used in food. They are made by combining glycerol with fatty acids, which can come from plant or animal sources. This process can be done industrially.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add mono and diglycerides to food primarily to act as emulsifiers. This means they help to mix ingredients that normally wouldn't blend well, like oil and water. They are often found in baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and breads, improving texture and shelf life.

Health notes

Mono and diglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a common component of the diet and are not typically associated with adverse health effects at the levels found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated them, and they are widely permitted for use in foods globally.

Allergen info

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