What it is
Mono- and diglycerides are fats that are commonly added to foods. They are made by combining glycerol with fatty acids, which can come from plant or animal sources. The process often involves heating these ingredients together.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add mono- and diglycerides to improve the texture and consistency of foods. They act as emulsifiers, helping to blend ingredients that normally don't mix well, like oil and water. This is why they are often found in ice cream, baked goods, and margarine.
Health notes
Mono- and diglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a common part of the diet and are not associated with adverse health effects at typical consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated them, and they are widely approved for food use.
Allergen info
Mono- and diglycerides are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
