What it is

Mono- and diglycerides are a mixture of fats that are made by chemically combining glycerol with fatty acids. These fatty acids can come from plant or animal sources. They are commonly used as an emulsifier in food products.

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 helps create a smoother texture and improves the shelf life of products. They are often found in baked goods such as cakes, cupcakes, breads, and pastries.

Health notes

Mono- and diglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a common food additive and are not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in normal amounts. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated mono- and diglycerides, and regulatory agencies consider them safe for consumption.

Allergen info

Mono- and diglycerides are not derived from major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
