E471
E471 is an ingredient commonly found in many food products. It is a synthetic compound created from glycerol and natural fatty acids, which are typically derived from plant oils like soybean, palm, or sunflower oil. You may also see it listed as mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids on food labels.
The process of making E471 involves combining glycerol with fatty acids through a chemical reaction. This results in the formation of a versatile ingredient that is used in various foods to improve texture, stability, and shelf life. It helps ingredients mix together smoothly and can be found in items like bakery products, margarine, ice cream, and processed meats.
Food manufacturers use E471 in their products to enhance the texture, structure, and shelf life of food items. In baked goods, it helps create a soft and fluffy texture, while in ice cream, it prevents the formation of ice crystals, making it smoother. You can also find E471 in spreads like margarine to improve consistency and in processed meats to bind ingredients together.
