Overview

E472A - Acetic acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids

Acetic acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E472a) are food-grade emulsifiers made by attaching small “acetyl” groups to glycerides from edible fats and oils. They help oil and water mix, keep textures stable, and improve freshness in many baked and creamy foods. They are approved in the EU and permitted in the US under specific conditions for use in food.

E472C - Citric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids

Citric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E472c) are food emulsifiers that help oil and water mix and stay stable. Made from citric acid, glycerol, and edible fats and oils, they also act as stabilisers and can protect flavors by binding trace metals. You’ll find them in baked goods, spreads, sauces, and some drinks.
