What it is

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 and oils. This process results in a mixture of mono-, di-, and triglycerides.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add mono- and diglycerides to foods to help mix ingredients that normally don't mix well, like oil and water. This helps improve the texture and consistency of products. They are commonly found in baked goods, ice cream, margarine, and processed foods.

Health notes

Mono- and diglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of energy, like other fats. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated mono- and diglycerides. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Mono- and diglycerides are not derived from major allergens. They are not a source of gluten.
