Glycerine USP

Glycerine, also called as Glycerol or Glycerin; is a simple polyol compound. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is sweet-tasting and non-toxic. Glycerol has three hydroxyl groups that are responsible for its solubility in water and its hydroscopic nature. The glycerol backbone is found in all lipids known as triglycerides.

Applications

  • - Food industry: In food and beverages, Glycerine 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.
  • - Personal lubricants commonly contain Glycerine.
  • - Glycerine is an ingredient in products such as hair gel.
  • - Glycerine suppositories used as laxatives Glycerine is used in medical, pharmaceutical and personal care preparations, mainly as a means of improving smoothness, providing lubrication, and as a humectant.
  • - Glycerin is often used in electronic cigarettes to create the vapor.
  • - Antifreeze Like ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, Glycerine is a non-ionic kosmotrope that forms strong hydrogen bonds with water molecules, competing with water-water hydrogen bonds. This interaction disrupts the formation of ice. The minimum freezing point temperature is about −36 °F (−38 °C) corresponding to 70% Glycerine in water.
