Glycerine is a sugar alcohol compound. As a food additive, it is labelled as E number E422. It has a viscous structure and a mild, sweet taste. Like most sugar alcohols, glycerine is around 75% as sweet as sucrose (table sugar), but is more calorie dense.
Glycerine is valued by food and beverage formulators as a sweetener, humectant (it retains moisture), preservative, texture enhancer, ingredient stabiliser, flavour carrier and viscosity controller. It can improve smoothness and softness and prevent sugar crystallisation. It also acts as a solvent for food colouring and flavours.
Our food-grade format glycerine is available colourless, odourless liquid in a range of bulk sizes.
