What it is

Mono- and diglycerides are fats that are made by combining glycerol with fatty acids. Polysorbate 60 is a synthetic emulsifier made from sorbitol and stearic acid. They are often used together in food processing.

Why it's used

Mono- and diglycerides and polysorbate 60 are used as emulsifiers, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients. This improves texture and prevents separation in products like cakes, cupcakes, and baked goods.

Health notes

Mono- and diglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Polysorbate 60 is also approved by the FDA as a food additive. Both have been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA and EFSA, which have established acceptable daily intake levels. At typical consumption levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Mono- and diglycerides are typically derived from soy or vegetable oils, and polysorbate 60 is derived from plant-based sources. They are not considered major allergens. Gluten is not typically present.
