Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471) are a naturally occurring class of food additive composed of diglycerides and monoglycerides used as an emulsifier in foods such as infant formula, fresh pasta, jams and jellies, chocolate, creams, baked goods, and more. [1] It is also used as a fruit coating agent.
The effects of ROS are both “site” and “time” sensitive, meaning that both will ultimately determine whether the ROS are beneficial or detrimental. [12] The generated ROS, which are formed from electrons leaking from the electron transport chain of the mitochondria, first act directly on mPTP to limit opening. [ 13 ]
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a term for refined wood pulp and is used as a texturizer, an anti-caking agent, a fat substitute, an emulsifier, an extender, and a bulking agent in food production. [1] The most common form is used in vitamin supplements or tablets.
Glycerol monostearate, commonly known as GMS, is a monoglyceride commonly used as an emulsifier in foods. [3] It takes the form of a white, odorless, and sweet-tasting flaky powder that is hygroscopic. Chemically it is the glycerol ester of stearic acid. It is also used as hydration powder in exercise formulas.
The fewer free hydroxyl groups and the more lipophilic fatty acids, the less hydrophilic the resulting sucrose ester becomes. Sucrose esters' HLB values can range from 1-16. Low HLB (3.5-6.0) sucrose esters act as a water-in-oil emulsifier while high HLB (8-18) sucrose esters act as an oil-in-water emulsifier. [1]

Polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR), E476, is an emulsifier made from glycerol and fatty acids (usually from castor bean, but also from soybean oil).In chocolate, compound chocolate and similar coatings, PGPR is mainly used with another substance like lecithin [2] to reduce viscosity.
DATEM (diacetyl tartaric acid ester of mono- and diglycerides, also E472e) is an emulsifier primarily used in baking to strengthen the gluten network in dough.It is added to crusty breads, such as rye, to impart a springy, chewy texture.
