Two possible forms exist, 1,2-diacylglycerols and 1,3-diacylglycerols. DAGs can act as surfactants and are commonly used as emulsifiers in processed foods. DAG-enriched oil (particularly 1,3-DAG) has been investigated extensively as a fat substitute due to its ability to suppress the accumulation of body fat;with total annual sales of approximately USD 200 million in Japan since its introduction in the late 1990s till 2009. diglyceride.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:59by 127.0.0.1
