Introduction to Glycerin:
Glycerine (or glycerine, glycerol) is a simple polyol compound. It is a colorless,
odorless, viscous liquid that is used in food, pharmaceutical formulations and chemical
industry like paints. 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. Glycerol is sweet-tasting and of low toxicity.
Usage of glycerin:
Food industry
In foods 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.
Pharmaceutical and personal care applications
Glycerol is used in medical and pharmaceutical and personal care preparations, mainly
as a means of improving smoothness, providing lubrication and as a humectant.
Other
A.Glycerol was historically used as an anti-freeze for automotive applications before
being replaced by ethylene glycol, which has a lower freezing point.
B.Glycerol is used to produce nitroglycerin, or glycerol trinitrate (GTN), which is an essential ingredient of smokeless gunpowder and various explosives such as dynamite,
gelignite, and propellants like cordite.
