DATEM, a synthetic food additive, is derived from plants and vegetable oils.

This ingredient is often used as an emulsifier in the production of baked goods. DATEM strengthens the gluten in dough to create a springy, chewier texture in breads.

The additive is also used in the production of other foods such as salsa, ice cream and salad dressing to help ingredients remain mixed or blended.
