Natural emulsifiers like soy, milk, and eggs can be dangerous to those allergic to them by triggering a potentially deadly allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Mono-diglycerides (hydrogenated oils) are a synthetic emulsifier also used in food. They contain trans fats which increase cholesterol levels and the risk of stroke and heart attack, and clog arteries.
Additives like emulsifiers are commonly found in modern food products, and are used to make most of the processed foods that we eat. There are many advantages and disadvantages of doing this.
The advantages are:
Has more than just emulsifying effects; along with emulsification, some emulsifiers can help with dispersion, foaming, anti-foaming wetting, solubilisation, anti-staling, prevention of sticking, creaming ability and water-holding ability, which makes them very useful in processing foods.
People might be allergic to emulsifiers (such as eggs).
It costs money to make synthetic emulsifiers and put them in the food.
