About emulsifier E471:
- Allows binding of starches in the absence of gluten
- It’s a mono-diglycerides of fatty acids (The diglycerides are derived from non-GMOs vegetable plants: flax & sunflower seeds, which  thru a refining process become mono-diglycerides)
- It’s not a carcinogen and it’s present in everyday food (i.e cheese, ham, meat, eggs)
- The Italian Ministerial Decree #209 of ‘96 provides that E471 can be added in any formula and Appendix 10 specifies that there are no specific quantity guidelines, having been found absolutely harmless.   The appendix also specifies that it can be added to other ingredients in the sufficient amount so as to make the dough workable/pliable.
