Re: Question for Syl       04/05/08 01:20 PM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Sorbitan Monosterate is a combination of sorbitan (a derivative of sorbitol) and steric acid. It is found in very small amounts in Fleischmann's yeast for bread machines to keep the yeast from caking and to aid in rehydration. The yeast contains less than 1% of it by weight. Given that you use about 2.5 teaspoons of yeast in a loaf of bread, a slice of bread likely contains less than 1/1000th of a gram of sorbitan monosterate - a very minuscule amount. I am very sensitive to fructose and sugar alcohols like sorbitol. I make my bread with Fleischmann's yeast for bread machines. I don't have any problems. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
