FOOD & BEVERAGE
Glycerine is widely used as a food additive for its sweet taste and humectant properties in cakes, chocolates, flavors, etc. Light cut fatty acids serve the food industry as MCTs, an additive to regulate food taste and texture.
Potential Applications
- Emulsifier
- Sweetener
- Humectant (prevents drying)
- Substitute for water
- May help to preserve foods
- Solvent for flavors and food coloring
- Used in manufacture of polyglycerol esters going into shortenings and margarine
- Used as filter in low-fat food products (e.g. cookies)
- Manufacture of mono- and di-glycerides for use as emulsifiers
- Humectant and softening agent in candy, cakes, and casings for meats and cheeses
- Edible plasticizer is the functionality glycerine provides as a food ingredient.
