Overview

E472D - Tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids

Tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E472D) are food emulsifiers. They help oil and water mix, steady foams, and improve texture in many foods. You’ll see them most often in baked goods, spreads, and creamy drinks.

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.
