Glice

A brand name for a mixture of mono- and diglycerides, Glice (C)

is dissolved in the fat that’s to be used in an emulsion. It is used in concentrations ranging from 2% to 5%. Oils and fats containing Glice must be heated to 140°F (60°C). Glice is used in fats destined for emulsions because it stabilizes them and makes it easier (or possible) to form emulsions with water or other aqueous liquids. While technically not a hydrocolloid (because no water is involved), Glice is usually lumped together with hydrocolloids proper.
