Sugar Esters of Fatty Acids and the Low FODMAP Diet

Sugar esters of fatty acids, also referred to as sucrose esters, are emulsifiers that combine sucrose (a sugar) with fatty acids. These compounds help stabilize and improve the texture of food products by promoting the mixture of ingredients like oil and water that would otherwise separate. They are used in a variety of foods, including baked goods, sauces, and confectionery items. The fatty acids can be derived from either plant or animal sources, making it important for vegans to verify the source if not explicitly stated on packaging.
