'''Diglycerides''' and '''Monoglycerides''' are emulsifying agents for rendered insoluble [[fat]]ty [[acid]]s.
 
A monoglyceride, more correctly known as a monoacylglycerol, is a glyceride consisting of one fatty acid chain covalently bonded to a glycerol molecule through an ester linkage.
 
A diglyceride, or a diacylglycerol (DAG), is a glyceride consisting of two fatty acid chains covalently bonded to a glycerol molecule through ester linkages.
