What is the source of your mono and diglycerides? Why do you use them?

Triano Brands
The mono and diglycerides we use comes from vegetables, never from animals. Mono and diglycerides are used as a carrier in some of the ingredients that we use in our products. This is true of virtually all other similar products that use gums and stabilizers as we do. The amount in the finished product is miniscule and we never directly add any into our product.

Question 117: How fast will Mono be?

The Mono Handbook - FAQ
We can not predict the future, but a conservative estimate is that it would be at least 'as fast as other JIT engines'. We would like to ship various JIT engines with Mono, just like Microsoft has done with their .NET development platform. We could provide a faster, JIT for fast load times but lower performance, and an and an optimizing JIT that would be slower at generating code but produce more optimal output.
