Mono/diacetyl tartaric esters of mono/diglycerides
Other names DATEM, E472E
Mono/diacetyl tartaric esters of mono/diglycerides: moderate in salicylate; low in FODMAPs, histamine and nickel. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- SalicylateModerate
DATEM is a dough emulsifier built from tartaric acid and fats. No structural link to salicylate; it is on elimination lists as part of the additive block.

- FODMAPsLow
DATEM is esterified mono- and diglycerides. Fat carries no fermentable carbohydrate.
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
DATEM is those same mono- and diglycerides esterified with tartaric acid, to strengthen bread dough. It is fatty-acid chemistry, not amino-acid chemistry, and histamine comes from the second.

- NickelLow
DATEM is made by esterifying mono- and diglycerides, which come from fats often hardened over a nickel catalyst. It is the standard dough conditioner in industrial bread, so it is common rather than concentrated. For this additive there is no legal nickel ceiling at all.
