Glycerin Food Grade

Original price was: $58,000.00.Current price is: $55,000.00.

Glycerin Food Grade, also known as glycerol, is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is sweet-tasting and non-toxic. It is a type of alcohol with three hydroxyl (OH) groups, and is commonly used in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and personal care products. Glycerin has numerous applications, including as a solvent, humectant, emollient, and lubricant, among others. It can be derived from both plant and animal sources, and is also produced as a byproduct of soap and biodiesel manufacturing.

Description

Glycerin Food Grade Uses

Primary Uses of Food Grade Glycerin 

These are cases where glycerin is intentionally added for its specific properties:

  1. Humectant – Retains moisture in foods like baked goods, candies, and marshmallows to prevent drying.

  2. Sweetener – Provides mild sweetness (about 60% as sweet as sucrose) in low-sugar or sugar-free foods.

  3. Solvent & Carrier – Dissolves flavors, colors, and vitamins in beverages and food extracts.

  4. Preservative & Shelf-Life Extender – Helps maintain freshness in packaged foods by controlling water activity.

  5. Texture Modifier – Improves smoothness in ice creams, fondants, and processed meats.

  6. Plasticizer – Prevents crystallization in candies and frostings.

  7. Fermentation Aid – Used as a carbon source in fermentation processes (e.g., probiotics, beer, wine).

  8. Low-Freezing Agent – Lowers freezing points in frozen desserts and liquid food products.

Secondary Uses of Food Grade Glycerin 

These are cases where glycerin is present but does not play a direct functional role in the final product:

  1. Byproduct of Fermentation – Naturally occurs in wine, beer, and fermented foods as a result of yeast metabolism.

  2. Processing Aid – Used in food manufacturing (e.g., lubricant in machinery, release agent) but removed in the final product.

  3. Extraction Solvent in Herbal Products – Used to extract flavors or active compounds (e.g., vanilla, cannabis) but may be filtered out.

  4. Carrier for Food Additives – Helps evenly distribute additives but may not remain in significant amounts in the final product.
