Stearic Acid and the Low FODMAP Diet
Stearic acid is a long-chain saturated fatty acid commonly used in the food industry as an emulsifier and thickening agent. It is naturally found in animal fats and some plant oils, such as cocoa butter and shea butter. In the context of food, it helps stabilize and improve the texture of products like margarine, confections, and bakery items. Stearic acid is also used in non-food products including cosmetics, detergents, and candles.
