What it is
Monoglycerides and diglycerides are fats that are commonly found in food. They are made by combining glycerol with fatty acids, which can come from plant or animal sources. The salt is typically sodium chloride.
Why it's used
These ingredients act as emulsifiers, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients smoothly. They are often used in baked goods like cookies and bread, as well as in snacks like chips and pretzels, to improve texture and shelf life.
Health notes
Monoglycerides and diglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are common components of the diet and are not associated with adverse health effects at typical consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these substances. There are no widespread controversies regarding their use in food.
Allergen info
