Overview

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.

E472B - Lactic acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids

Lactic acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E472b) are food emulsifiers that help oil and water mix, keep textures smooth, and improve the feel of baked goods. You’ll often see them in breads, cakes, whipped toppings, and dairy-style products where stable, fine texture matters.
