Description
What it is. These are esters obtained by combining mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (at least four carbon atoms) with organic acids. They belong to the "miscellaneous" chapter of the feed materials catalogue and are classified as a fat-derived material.
What it is for. They are generally used as an energy source and as technological aids affecting the physical and emulsifying properties of feed and premixes. They would be suitable for various species and production stages where fat incorporation and mix stability are sought. Use is generally adapted according to the targeted formulation and processing conditions.
Points to watch. The declared constituent is crude fat; its content should be checked on the specific product label since no maximum level is set in the source. Composition may vary between suppliers depending on the fatty acid and organic acid profile used, and storage conditions should limit oxidation of the fat fraction.
