Diacetyl Tartaric Acid Esters of Mono- and Diglycerides (DATEM) is a food-grade hydrophilic emulsifier widely used as a dough conditioner in bakery to improve gluten strength, dough stability, volume and texture.We supply bulk Diacetyl Tartaric Acid Esters Of Mono-And Diglycerides sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder form for international food processing operations. Our Diacetyl Tartaric Acid Esters Of Mono-And Diglycerides is widely used in yeast-raised bakery dough conditioner, pastry fat systems, spreads, creamers and par-baked products.
DATEM is produced by esterification of mono- and diglycerides with diacetyl tartaric acid. This yields a strongly anionic hydrophilic emulsifier.
In bakery applications it interacts with gluten proteins to strengthen dough, improve gas retention, increase loaf volume and crumb softness, and extend shelf life. Also used in margarine, coffee whiteners and shortenings.
