What it is

Mono- and diglycerides are fats that are made by combining fatty acids with glycerol. Soy lecithin is a substance derived from soybeans. Both are often used together in food processing.

Why it's used

Mono- and diglycerides and soy lecithin are primarily used as emulsifiers. They help to mix ingredients that don't normally mix, like oil and water, creating a smoother texture and preventing separation. They are commonly found in ice cream, baked goods, and margarine.

Health notes

Mono- and diglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Soy lecithin is also considered GRAS. These ingredients are typically consumed in small amounts and are not associated with adverse health effects at typical intake levels. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these substances. There are no major controversies regarding their use in food.

Allergen info

Soy lecithin is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Mono- and diglycerides are not derived from major allergens.
