What is Glycerol?
Glycerin (or glycerol) is a trihydric alcohol with the chemical formula C3H8O3 that is naturally found in vegetable and animal fats and oils. This compound is colorless, odorless, transparent, and has a sweet taste. It is utilized in numerous industries, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, defense, and chemical-military sectors, serving as a base material, humectant, or solvent.
This trihydric alcohol can be obtained from natural sources like vegetable oils and animal fats, or it can be synthesized through chemical processes. Its chemical structure comprises three hydroxyl (OH-) groups, which play a crucial role in many of its physical and chemical properties and characteristics.
The difference between refined glycerin and crude glycerin
Refined glycerin refers to the compound which, after its initial production (either through the hydrolysis of oils and fats or via chemical synthesis), has undergone purification and refining processes to remove impurities and increase its purity.
Generally, crude glycerin is primarily obtained as a byproduct in the processes of biodiesel and soap production.
In the biodiesel production process, using vegetable oils such as palm, soybean, and rapeseed, or animal fats, glycerin is formed as a byproduct, containing quantities of water, salt, soap (in the hydrolysis method), methanol (as a byproduct in biodiesel production), free fatty acids, organic matter, and colorants.
The refining process is performed with the aim of eliminating these impurities and achieving a compound with the desired quality and purity for various applications.
Refined Glycerin from Padideh Shimi Jam Company (a chemical raw material producer) has a minimum purity of 99.5%, is colorless, odorless, and complies with international standards.
Glycerin Varieties:
Glycerin is categorized into different grades and types based on its purity level and commercial name (brand name).
Pharmaceutical Grade Glycerin (or Glycerol), branded as Amonyl, purified to a minimum purity of 99.5%.”
Food Grade Glycerin (or Glycerol), marketed under the trade name Iransweet, is refined with a minimum purity of 99.5% (Food Grade).
Cosmetic grade glycerin, marketed under the trade name Glycine, refined with a minimum purity of 99.5% (Cosmetic Grade).
Industrial grade glycerin, Trademark: Padicell (or Brand name: Padicell), Refined with a minimum purity of 99.5% (99.5% min purity).
Chemical and Physical Properties:
Glycerol is a trihydric alcohol with the formula C3H8O3, consisting of a carbon chain with three hydroxyl (−OH) groups attached to it. These hydroxyl groups are the primary cause of its polarity, water solubility, and reactivity. Physically, it is a colorless, odorless, and highly viscous liquid. The strong hydrogen bonds present between its molecules contribute to its excellent solubility in water. Following this, a table of the physical and chemical specifications of glycerol is presented.

-Hair Masks (Repairing keratin structure)
-Hygienic Products
-Toothpastes (Preventing mucosal dryness)
-Mouthwashes (Maintaining oral moisture)
-Medicated Soaps (Preventing skin irritation)
Application in the Pharmaceutical Industries:
Glycerin is a multifunctional molecule in pharmaceutics, utilized as a solvent, a pharmaceutical base, and an active therapeutic agent. Its applications include oral syrups and solutions, ophthalmic and nasal drops, creams and ointments, suppositories, a preservative and stabilizer in certain medications, a laxative and anti-constipation agent, for reducing intracranial pressure, in isotonic solutions, preservation solutions for corneal transplants, topical gels, and more.
Application in the Food Industry
Glycerol used in the food industry, also known as food-grade glycerin, has applications that include the following:
Sweetener and Flavor Enhancer & Moisture Retention in pastries, cakes, cookies, and candies.
Preservative and Shelf-Life Extension by preventing sugar crystallization in chocolate and ice cream, reducing water activity (aw), and inhibiting bacterial growth.
Stabilizer and Emulsifier in fixing (stabilizing) ice cream and frozen desserts, improving the texture of sauces, mayonnaise, and beverages, and enhancing the consistency (viscosity) of dairy products.
