Pure Vegetable Glycerine. Your Versatile Friend. Glycerin, also known as glycerol, is a thick liquid that belongs to the class of naturally occurring sugar polyols. This multi-purpose substance is widely recognised in the UK and EU as E number E422 and is utilised in cosmetics for skincare as well as in the food industry. Food-grade glycerine plays a vital role as a humectant, thickener, solvent, and sweetener. With a sweetness 70 of that of sugar, it serves many purposes. It enhances the texture and flavour of dairy products, confections, fondants, processed fruits, jams, and energy bars. In Baking When added into cake batter before baking it acts as a preservative ensuring your cakes remain irresistibly moist long after they leave the oven. Just 2-3tsp work great for one medium-large cake. Ice Cream Texture Ice cream benefits from glycerin as it acts as a humectant retaining moisture. This improves the texture making it easier to scoop and serving a softer consistency, particularly at lower temperatures compared to ice cream without glycerin. Crystallisation Prevention Adding a dash of glycerine when heating sugar and water at high temperatures prevents crystallisation. Enhancing Confections Glycerine gives a soft creamy consistency to buttercream or candies such as fudge, truffles, and caramels. When making royal icing a touch of glycerine provides a glossy finish and prevents it from hardening. Consider adding just 1-2tsp for every 500g. Glycerin's Fondant Transformation When working with fondant, glycerine can be a game-changer. Adding just 1tbs to your fondant mixture enhances its texture and workability. Moreover if you're grappling with an older batch of stiff and cracking fondant, glycerine can miraculously breathe new life into it!
