Detailed information
- What it is & how it is made
- An alcohol used as a humectant and solvent. It can be produced from vegetable fats, from animal fats or synthetically; its source varies by product.
- Where it is used
- Used as a humectant and softener in confectionery, baked goods, toothpaste, medicines and cosmetics.
- Health note
- It is considered safe at food-use levels. There is no known serious drawback.
- Halal assessment
- The real determinant is the source: plant-based or synthetic glycerine is accepted as halal, whereas glycerine obtained from animal fat, especially pork or an animal not slaughtered according to Islamic rules, is problematic. Because the source is not stated on most products, it has been left as doubtful; definitive information requires the manufacturer's declaration.
