Diacetyl Tartaric Acid Esters of Mono and Diglycerides (DATEM) by Henan Honest Food Co., Ltd is a premium emulsifier and dough conditioner widely used in bakery and processed food applications. It improves dough springiness, toughness, and gas retention, supporting a uniform crumb structure and enhancing the texture and volume of bread, rolls, pastries, and other yeast-leavened products. DATEM also interacts with starch to help delay staling, contributing to improved shelf-life.
This versatile ingredient functions as an emulsifier, dispersant, and stabilizer, making it suitable for creams, non-dairy creamers, butter, and concentrated butter, as well as premixes and industrial bakery formulations. Its fine powder form allows easy incorporation into dry blends, and it is compatible with other emulsifiers, flours, and food ingredients. DATEM ensures consistent performance across batches, supporting both OEM and private-label production.
Manufactured through controlled esterification and purification processes, DATEM is produced under strict quality standards to ensure uniform quality, predictable functionality, and stable handling characteristics. Complete technical and analytical documentation is supplied, enabling food manufacturers to achieve reliable results in large-scale industrial and bakery applications.
