E431, also known as glyceryl monostearate, is a food additive that is added to products as an emulsifier, helping them to combine and maintain stability.
From a keto diet perspective, it is important to note that while E431 does not contain carbohydrates, it may cause a reaction in some individuals as it is a derivative of fat. Therefore, when following a keto diet, it is recommended to pay attention to the presence of E431 in products and possibly exclude it from the diet.
E431 can be used in various products such as dairy, bakery, confectionery, margarine, and other products where texture stability and ingredient mixability need to be ensured.
While E431 is not a harmful substance overall, some people may experience discomfort or allergic reactions to it.
