Product Description
Food grade glycerol, as the name suggests, refers to glycerol that can be added during food processing, generally referring to glycerol with a content of ≥ 99.7% and a national food additive certificate.
And glycerol is commonly known as glycerol, with the molecular formula C3H8O3. It is a transparent, colorless, odorless, sweet taste, and has a clear and viscous liquid appearance. It can absorb moisture from the air, as well as hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen cyanide, and sulfur dioxide. It is miscible with water and ethanol, and the aqueous solution is neutral.
Glycerol is divided into natural glycerol, crude glycerol, and refined glycerol, while food grade glycerol belongs to the category of refined glycerol, with a purity generally reaching 99.5% or above.

The role of food grade glycerol:
It has functions such as water locking, moisturizing, color protection, antibacterial and acid inhibiting.
3, Application fields of food grade glycerol
Sweeteners and humectants commonly used in the food processing industry give food a smooth, delicious taste and good sensory properties, maintain a soft texture, extend shelf life, and are also used as lubricants for food processing and packaging machinery; In beverages, it can remove bitterness and astringency to enhance taste.
It is also used as a solvent, moisture absorbent, and color carrier in the food industry.
4, Appreciation of Application Cases of Food Grade Glycerin
(1) Human food: used as humectants, sweeteners, softeners, emulsifiers, deodorizers, color carriers, food industry solvents, lubricants for food processing and packaging machinery
(1) Bread, cake
Food grade glycerol is used as a water retaining and moisturizing agent in bread, cakes, etc. It has strong moisture absorption, maintains a soft texture, and extends shelf life.
(2) Gum based candy
All kinds of elastic candy food are basically composed of sugar (or sugar alcohol), syrup, gum base, glycerin, essence, pigment, etc. Food grade glycerol is used as a candy softener, emulsifier, etc.
(3) Beverages such as fruit juice and vinegar
Fruits contain tannins, which are the source of bitter and astringent odors in fruits. Food grade glycerol can quickly decompose the bitter and astringent odors in fruit juice and vinegar, enhance the thick taste and aroma of the juice itself, have a bright appearance, and have a sweet and sour taste.
(4) Fruit wine, Baijiu, wine and other liquors
Food grade glycerol is used as a taste improver, sweetener, and deodorizer in alcoholic beverages. Adding it in moderation can increase the aroma, mellow sweetness, and richness of the wine.
(5) Preserved fruits, fruit cakes
During the processing and production of preserved fruits, due to storage issues, the products are prone to dehydration and dryness. Food grade glycerol can quickly inhibit the growth of tannins in preserved fruits, improve their palatability, enhance their own aroma, enhance their quality, increase their freshness, sweetness, and appearance, and extend their shelf life. Adding food grade glycerol to the cooked fruit cake can achieve good results in terms of palatability, color, moisturizing, and antioxidant properties.
(6) Dried meat, sausages, cured meat
During processing, food grade glycerol is diluted with pure grain wine at least 50 degrees Celsius and evenly sprayed onto the meat or cut meat, thoroughly kneaded or stirred. It can lock in water, moisturize, achieve weight gain, extend shelf life, and improve product taste, color, and aroma.
(7) Chinese and Western pastries and pastries
Pastry foods, especially frozen dumpling skins, steamed buns, and other pastry foods, can effectively act as moisturizing agents and emulsifiers by adding appropriate food grade glycerol, making the product anti freezing and non cracking, with a unique flavor, soft and delicious, and strengthening the palatability of the noodle products.
(8) Other uses
Used as a solvent, hygroscopic agent, and color carrier in the food industry. In seasoned and colored foods, food grade glycerol helps to shape food due to its stickiness.
In the rapid freezing of food, food grade glycerol can be used as a heat transfer medium in direct contact with food.
Food grade glycerol is also a lubricant for food processing and packaging machinery.
Some edible essence are used as carriers.
Used for making protein casings.
(2) Pet food: moisturizing agents, sweeteners, adhesives, anti caking agents, and stabilizers for food processing
Food grade glycerin for pets is used in the production of pet meat jerky, candy, pet chewables, tooth chewables, etc. The amount of glycerin used in pet food is 2% to 10%, determined by the formula designer.
