Source
Natural：Some derive from natural raw materials (e.g. soy lecithin, egg-yolk phospholipids).
Industrial：Many are made by esterifying glycerol with fatty acids or further derivatisation (e.g. monoglycerides, spans, tweens).
Why is it used?
- Stabilise oil-water emulsions
- Improve mouthfeel and structure
- Prevent separation
Common Foods
- Margarine
- Ice cream
- Bakery
- Chocolate
- Sauces
