Item #: 501216S

Glycerine, also known as glycerol, is a colorless, odorless, and slightly sweet-tasting liquid that is commonly used in culinary applications as a humectant, thickener, and sweetener. Here are some common culinary uses of glycerine:
Baked goods: Glycerine is often used in baked goods such as cakes and pastries to retain moisture and prevent them from becoming dry and stale.
Confectionery: Glycerine is commonly used in confectionery such as candy, chocolate, and fudge as a sweetener, thickener, and humectant. It helps to create a smooth and creamy texture and prevents crystallization.
Frosting and icing: Glycerine is often used in frosting and icing to prevent them from becoming too hard or cracking. It helps to keep them soft and pliable, and gives them a glossy finish.
Beverages: Glycerine is used in some beverages as a sweetener and thickener. It is also used in some herbal tinctures and extracts as a solvent.
Meat products: Glycerine is used in some meat products such as sausage and ham as a humectant to prevent them from drying out.
