Abstract:
A mixture comprising diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides based on C12 to C22 fatty acids which mixture comprises diacetyl tartaric acid glycerol monoesters containing:(A) one fatty acid group, one diacetylated tartaric acid monoester group and a free hydroxyl group; and (B) one fatty acid group and two diacetylated tartaric acid monoester groups, wherein (1) the concentration of (A) in the total mixture obtained by dividing the molar amount of (A) by the sum of the molar amounts of all components in the mixture and multiplying by 100 is at least 45%, and (2) the fraction obtained by dividing the molar amount of (A) by the combined molar amounts of (A) and (B) taken together is at least 0.70, and wherein which the molar amounts are determined by NMR.
