Glycerin is a by product of biodiesel production and saponification. It can be produced synthetically, but due to oversupply it is generally not. In foods it is used as a humectant, solvent, sweetener and preservative. It is also used in pharmaceutical and veterinary formulations. Other applications include hand sanitizer, e-cigarette e-liquids, anti-freeze and alcohol-free botanical tinctures/extracts. Most USA produced glycerin is tallow based. Material of SE Asian origin tends to be palm based.
