It is understood that: Glycerin (also known as glycerin) is a colorless, odorless, sweet-tasting organic substance with a clear and viscous liquid appearance. It is miscible with water, alcohols, amines and phenols in any proportion, and the aqueous solution is neutral. Glycerin is a polyol moisturizer. The hydroxyl groups in the molecular structure can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, which plays a good role in absorbing and locking water. Glycerin has a wide range of uses. Currently, it has more than 1,700 uses. It is used in both food and industry.
