Description
Glycerin, also known as Glycerol, is a type of carbohydrate called a sugar alcohol or polyol. In terms of structure, it is the simplest trihydroxy alcohol. Natural sources of Glycerol are vegetable fats and animal fats. It can also be obtained synthetically by chlorinating propylene. Given that it is one of the most valuable and versatile chemicals in nature, Glycerol has many applications in various industries as a humectant, plasticizer, emollient, sweetener, bulking agent in low-fat foods and many others. As a food additive, it has the symbol E422.
Technical aspects
Glycerin is an odorless, colorless and viscous liquid with a sweet taste. It is fully miscible with water due to the presence of three hydroxyl groups. When exposed to humid air, Glycerol is highly hygroscopic, absorbing water as well as some gases. Glycerin in low concentrations has moisturizing and degreasing properties, while in high concentrations it has disinfecting and drying properties.
Storage
The shelf life of Glycerin is 24 months. The product can be stored at room temperature.
