So, what is mono- y diglicéridos de acidos grasos?

Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, also known as E471, are emulsifiers commonly used in food production. They are a mixture of mono- and diglycerides that are derived from edible sources such as soybean, palm, or rapeseed oil. These emulsifiers play a crucial role in maintaining the texture and consistency of many processed foods, from baked goods to ice cream. Mono- and diglycerides act as a bridge between water and fat, allowing them to blend together smoothly and prevent separation. In addition to their functional properties, they are also considered safe for consumption by regulatory agencies around the world.
