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.

E472F - Mixed acetic and tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids

E472F is a group of emulsifiers made by attaching small amounts of acetic acid and tartaric acid to mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids. Food makers use it to help oil and water mix, to stabilize foams, and to improve the texture of baked goods and creams. It is authorized for use in the European Union with defined purity rules.
