Description
Organic glycerine is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is sweet-tasting and non-toxic. The glycerol backbone is found in those lipids known as glycerides. Due to having antimicrobial and antiviral properties, organic glycerine is widely used in FDA approved wound and burn treatments. It can also be used as an effective marker to measure liver disease. Organic glycerine is widely used as a sweetener in the food industry and as a humectant in cosmetics and pharmaceutical formulations. Owing to the presence of three hydroxyl groups, glycerol is miscible with water and is hygroscopic in nature.
