What it is

Mono- and diglycerides are fats that are made from glycerol and fatty acids. They are often produced from vegetable oils, but can also be derived from animal fats. The process involves breaking down fats and then reassembling them into mono- and diglycerides.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use mono- and diglycerides as emulsifiers. Emulsifiers help to mix ingredients that don't normally mix well, like oil and water. They are found in a wide variety of foods, including baked goods, ice cream, and margarine.

Health notes

Mono- and diglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a common food additive and are not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in normal amounts. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated mono- and diglycerides.

Allergen info

Mono- and diglycerides are not considered a major allergen. They are not derived from milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, or sesame. Gluten is not present.
