What it is
Mono- and diglycerides are fats that are commonly used in food. They are made by combining glycerol with fatty acids, which can come from plant or animal sources. The process typically involves heating these ingredients together.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add mono- and diglycerides to foods to help mix ingredients that normally don't blend well, like oil and water. This is called an emulsifier. They are often found in baked goods, ice cream, margarine, and whipped toppings.
Health notes
In the U.S., mono- and diglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a common food ingredient and are not typically associated with health concerns when consumed in normal amounts. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated them, and no significant controversies exist regarding their use at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Mono- and diglycerides are not derived from major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
