Corn Oil Diglyceride
Corn Oil Diglyceride is a diacylglycerol-enriched edible oil produced from refined corn oil through enzymatic synthesis or molecular distillation. The product is sold within the diet fat category alongside other diacylglycerol oils developed for cooking and dietary use.
The material is a clear pale yellow oil with the characteristic mild aroma of refined corn oil. Diacylglycerol content typically falls between 60 and 80 percent depending on the production route, with the balance made up of residual triglycerides and small fractions of monoglycerides.
We source bulk Corn Oil Diglyceride from top China manufacturers for our partners. The manufacturer is in Shandong. A smaller requirement can ship in a combined container with other ingredients.
Please send the grade you need, the volume and your destination port, and we will come back with a solution and a price.

Common Markets Grades
Corn Oil Diglyceride is graded by diacylglycerol content, sn-isomer distribution, and free fatty acid level.
Standard culinary grades carry diacylglycerol content between 60 and 75 percent and serve cooking oil and dressing applications. Higher grades reach 80 percent or more diacylglycerol content for functional food and clinical nutrition use.
Sn-1,3 diacylglycerol-enriched grades are produced by selective enzymatic synthesis with 1,3-specific lipase enzymes. These grades concentrate the metabolically distinct sn-1,3 isomer that follows a different digestive absorption pathway than triglycerides.
All commercial grades retain the fatty acid profile of corn oil, which is dominated by linoleic acid at 50 to 60 percent of total fatty acids with oleic acid at 25 to 30 percent.

How We Help Source Corn Oil Diglyceride
Direct Factory Sourcing
We run the whole process: selecting the manufacturer from the top Chinese food ingredient producers, negotiating the price, verifying quality, and coordinating the logistics. You deal with us instead of with several factories at once.
Original Packaging and Documents from the Manufacturer
The manufacturer sends your Corn Oil Diglyceride out of its own factory in the original packing, through to your destination port. The COA, COO, MSDS, TDS and any certifications reach you from the manufacturer as well.
Free Samples and Lead Time
We send 100 to 500 g free for your own laboratory to test and you cover only the courier, usually within 2 to 3 working days. ETD is usually within 7 to 15 days once the order is confirmed, and we check that date against the factory's own manufacturing schedule before we give it to you.
Combined Shipment
We can load Corn Oil Diglyceride together with other ingredients such as Polyglycerol Esters of Fatty Acids, Non-Dairy Creamer and Mono- and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids into one 20' FCL. If your quantity is small, we can also ship LCL.
Regulatory Status
Corn Oil Diglyceride is permitted as a food ingredient under the general food regulations that cover edible diacylglycerol products in most major markets.
The United States Food and Drug Administration has accepted diacylglycerol oil under formal GRAS notifications submitted for similar products, with defined composition specifications. The European Food Safety Authority has reviewed diacylglycerol oils on similar terms.
JECFA reviewed mono and diglycerides as a class and concluded that an intake limit was not required.
Corn oil itself is a long-recognised edible oil with monographs in the Food Chemicals Codex, the United States Pharmacopeia, and the European Pharmacopoeia. Kosher, Halal, and vegan certifications are widely available, with non-GMO documentation offered for IP-source grades.
Manufacturing Process
Corn Oil Diglyceride is produced from refined corn oil through enzymatic synthesis or molecular distillation.
The enzymatic route uses a 1,3-specific lipase such as Lipozyme to catalyse the glycerolysis of corn oil with food-grade glycerol. The reaction is carried out in a stirred reactor at 50 to 70 degrees Celsius under reduced pressure to remove the water byproduct and drive the reaction toward diacylglycerol formation.
The reaction mixture is filtered to recover the immobilized enzyme for reuse. The crude diacylglycerol fraction is then enriched by molecular distillation under high vacuum to separate it from residual monoglycerides, triglycerides, and free glycerol.
The final product is bleached, deodorised, and standardised for diacylglycerol content, sn-isomer distribution, and fatty acid profile. Packaging under nitrogen is standard to preserve the oxidative stability of the linoleic acid fraction through shelf life.
