Aliphatic and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet
Aliphatic compounds refer to a class of hydrocarbons that can be either saturated or unsaturated. In the context of food ingredients, aliphatic oils are often derived from animal sources, such as sheep's glands, but can also be obtained from plants. These oils are used in a range of applications, including as additives in food products. Consumers, particularly those with specific dietary restrictions such as the alpha-gal allergy, should verify the source of aliphatic oils to ensure they meet their dietary needs.
