So, what is dimethyl hydrogenated tallowamine?
Dimethyl hydrogenated tallowamine is a white to pale yellow waxy substance that is commonly used as a surfactant and emulsifier in various food products. It is derived from tallow, a type of animal fat, through a hydrogenation process that results in a highly stable and versatile ingredient. Dimethyl hydrogenated tallowamine helps to improve the texture, stability, and consistency of food products, and is often found in baked goods, dairy products, and processed foods. While it is generally considered safe for consumption, some individuals with sensitivities to animal-derived ingredients may want to avoid it.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
