EXCIPIENT PHARMACEUTICALS

Glycerine is a common product used in the manufacturing of various pharmaceutical applications.  For Pharmaceutical Industry Applications which require a higher level of GMPs and documentation, facility audits, traceability, OLEOCORP has benchmark standards and processes.

 Potential Applications

  • Excipient use only
  • Gelcaps
  • Low water activity
  • Used in medical and pharmaceutical preparations, mainly as a means of improving smoothness, providing lubrication and humectants
  • Cough syrups
  • Elixirs and expectorants

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.
