Mono- dan digliserida asam lemak

Mono- dan digliserida asam lemak (E471) adalah bahan tambahan makanan yang digunakan sebagai pengemulsi.

Lemak sintetis ini dihasilkan dari gliserol dan asam lemak alami, baik nabati atau hewani. E471 umumnya merupakan campuran beberapa produk, dan komposisinya setupa dengan lemak alami yang baru separuh dicerna.

Perhatian bagi vegetarian dan vegan

E471 lebih banyak dihasilkan dari minyak nabati, namun lemak hewani kadang-kadang juga digunakan dan hampir pasti terkandung dalam produk akhir.^[1] Asam lemak dari setiap sumber memiliki struktur kimia yang identik.^[2] Akan tetapi, vegetarian dan vegan yang enggan mengonsumsi produk hewani apapun memilih untuk menghindari produk yang mengandung E471.^[3]
