Up until 1889, people didn’t know how to recover glycerine from the soap-making process, so commercially produced glycerin mostly came from the candle-making industry (remember, back then candles were made from animal fats). In 1889, a viable way to separate…

Glycerin for hair is widely used due to its softening and water-holding properties. Often, it acts as a solvent for a number of substances, such as flavors. Also, this component is a good solvent for many oils and is used…

Because of the different process of splitting decomposition, the concentration and impurities of glycerol in sweet water differ greatly with catalysts hydrolyzed at low temperature and atmospheric pressure, medium temperature and pressure, and without catalysts hydrolyzed at medium pressure and…

Natural glycerol Before 1984, glycerol was recovered from by-products of soap making from animal fat or vegetable oil.Until now, natural oils and fats are still the main raw materials for the glycerol production. About 42% natural glycerol is produced from the by-product…

The bodies of all living things have cells. However, cells cannot function properly without the presence of certain substances, such as lipids. Lipids are a group of naturally occurring molecules that include animal fats, vegetable fats, certain vitamins, triglycerides and…

Lipids are organic compounds (that is, they contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) that are not water-soluble, instead dissolving in fatty solvents. Three types of lipids are found in the human body and in the foods that people eat: triglycerides, phospholipids…

Glycerin, or glycerol, is a colorless and odorless syrup that tastes sweet and is a byproduct of saponification – the process of making soap – of natural fats, such as vegetable oil. You can make glycerin yourself using heat and…
