What it is

Mono- and diglycerides are a type of fat that can be made from animal or vegetable fats and oils. They are produced by combining glycerol with fatty acids. They are often used in processed foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add mono- and diglycerides to foods primarily to help mix ingredients that normally don't mix well, like oil and water. This process is called emulsification. They are commonly found in baked goods, ice cream, and margarine.

Health notes

Mono- and diglycerides are generally recognized by the FDA as safe (GRAS) when used for their intended purpose. They are a source of calories, similar to other fats. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated them. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Mono- and diglycerides are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
