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 to improve texture and shelf life.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add mono- and diglycerides to foods to help mix oil and water, which improves texture and prevents ingredients from separating. They are commonly found in baked goods, ice cream, and margarine.
Health notes
Mono- and diglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a common component of the diet and are not typically associated with adverse health effects at normal consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated them and established acceptable daily intake levels.
Allergen info
Mono- and diglycerides are not derived from any of the 9 major allergens and do not contain gluten.
