According to Wikipedia "Glycerol (also called glycerine or glycerin; see spelling differences) is a simple polyol (sugar alcohol) compound. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is sweet-tasting and non-toxic. It is widely used in the food industry as a sweetener and humectant and in pharmaceutical formulations. Glycerol has three hydroxyl groups that are responsible for its solubility in water and its hygroscopic nature. The glycerol backbone is central to all lipids known as triglycerides". Additionally, In food and beverages, glycerol serves as a humectant, solvent, and sweetener, and may help preserve foods. It is also used as filler in commercially prepared low-fat foods (e.g., cookies), and as a thickening agent in liqueurs. Glycerol and water are used to preserve certain types of plant leaves. As a sugar substitute, it has approximately 27 kilocalories per teaspoon (sugar has 20) and is 60% as sweet as sucrose. It does not feed the bacteria that form plaques and cause dental cavities. As a food additive, glycerol is labeled as E number E422. It is added to icing (frosting) to prevent it from setting too hard (taken from Wikipedia).
As I worked in food industry, the Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, High Fructose Syrup are familiar to me, we produce organic extracts. Those ingredients must be ready in stock all the time, if one of them is run out of stock, it can be affected to our production activities. Well, of course!
And here I am, come to the office in Saturday, to make sure that Glycerin order will arrive and production is able to use it right away for to produce our VIP's order…
Glycerin oh Glycerin :)
