Role in food

These ingredients are primarily used as emulsifiers, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients. …

What it is

Mono- and diglycerides are fats that are made from glycerol and fatty acids. They are often derived from plant oils, but can also come from animal fats. Polysorbate 80 is a synthetic emulsifier made from sorbitol, ethylene oxide, and oleic acid (a fatty acid).

Why it's used

These ingredients are primarily used as emulsifiers, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients. They improve texture and prevent separation in foods like baked goods, ice cream, and processed meats. Polysorbate 80 is also used to help disperse flavors and colors evenly.

Health notes

Mono- and diglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Polysorbate 80 is also permitted for use in food. Both have been evaluated by JECFA and EFSA, which have established acceptable daily intakes. At typical consumption levels, these ingredients are not associated with adverse health effects. Some studies have explored potential gut microbiome effects of polysorbates, but evidence is mixed and requires further research.

Allergen info

Mono- and diglycerides can be derived from soy or other allergens, but are not considered major allergens themselves. Polysorbate 80 is not derived from major allergens. Neither contains gluten.
