Distilled monoglyceride (DMG) is a food additive that is derived from natural sources, typically vegetable oils. It is a mixture of monoesters and diesters of glycerol, where the majority of the esters are monoglycerides. DMG is widely used in the food industry for its emulsifying and stabilizing properties. It functions as a food emulsifier, enabling the homogeneous blending of water and oil-based ingredients in various food products. This makes DMG a valuable ingredient in the production of baked goods, margarine, ice cream, confectionery, and other processed foods. In baked goods, DMG helps to improve dough elasticity, texture, and shelf life. It also enhances the stability and texture of ice creams by preventing the formation of ice crystals and improving creaminess. Additionally, DMG can act as a preservative and enhance the volume and texture of whipped toppings and creams. Its versatility and functionality make distilled monoglyceride a popular choice in the food industry, contributing to the quality and appeal of numerous food products.
