Some Vegetable Glycerin

At this time, some review will discuss more about vegetable glycerin, but I may discuss briefly about what glycerin is and how it made of vegetable. Glycerin is the chemical compound; it can be derived from vegetable and animal. It is oily, so that if we should find some oily vegetable to make it. Then, the technological on food develop to make some food grade and cosmetics.
This kind of oily vegetable can be in the form of seed oil, olive oil or other oily material which can be change into some food grade. Since the use of this compound is large enough for industrial product, we may consider that this vegetable glycerin is different from food you may consume directly. It cannot be consumed directly as your staple food or beverages. The massive production of glycerin from vegetable is pointing on some cosmetics product, for instance soap and body treatment. If we come into the discussion of the safety, of course this material is safe and halal (can be used by Moslem people), since the material is made of vegetable and herbs.
Unique aroma and soft material make this vegetable glycerin production booming, whereas, the manufacturing production of vegetable for glycerin is not much? In the production process, the raw materials are still in the form of seed oil, which should be made into soap, body treatment, moisturizer, etc. the coconut and palm oil are the common materials in this products.
Those material are heated in high temperature under pressure with water contain in a large place. Then, the vegetable glycerin splits off, the distillation process then will remain the pure glycerin product. The food grade made of this material remains 99.7 % of pure glycerin, then the rest for 0.3 % being water. The next step in is addition for other compound to make soap, cosmetics, and other goods of gentle soft material for skin treatment. The latest research found that this vegetable glycerin is also can be used for fuel, but methanol contain of this pure material is only produce some low quality for fuel consumption. Methanol of this material also can be used for useful plastic. However, the sweet taste of this pure methanol can be considered to make some healthy sugar for food and drink. Candy mass production which uses this contain is safe enough for kids, but always take some consideration in appropriate intake and not too much.
