Vegetable Glycerin USP Food Grade >99.7% Palm-Derived
Download COADownload SDS What is Vegetable Glycerin? Vegetable Glycerin (VG) is a clear and odorless organic compound. It is made from soy, palm or coconut oil. While crude glycerin is a waste byproduct of biodiesel fuel, we sell only Kosher USP Vegetable Glycerin, made from premium oils. This is the highest quality glycerin and also safe for use in health, beaty, and pharmaceutical products. How is Vegetable Glycerin Made? All glycerin comes from the same chemical compound: C3H803. There is no difference in the many terms used for glycerin, only the process by which it is made. Our Vegetable Glycerin is made through a process called hydrolysis, which places the oil under pressure, heat and water. This breaks the glycerin free from the fatty acids, allowing them to join with the water. The process then continues with distillation, resulting in an even more pure final product. It is also resistant to freezing, making it versatile across temperatures, and is water and alcohol soluble.
