Daily use
The best quality of edible glycerol is biological elaboration,contains propanol, esters, glucose and other reducing sugar,which belongs to polyol glycerol.It is not only has the function of moisturizing & nourishing,but also has high activity, anti-oxidation, alcoholation and other special effects.
Complete oxidation of glycerin per gram produces 4 kcal of calories, which is absorbed by the body without changing blood sugar and insulin levels.Glycerol is a sweetener and moisturizer commonly used in the food processing industry, mostly in sports food and dairies.
Wild
In the wild, the glycerol not only be used as an energy supply to meet human needs,but also used as an incendiary agent.Method: pile 5~10 g potassium permanganate solid under combustible material,add the glycerine to the potassium permanganate ,a flame will appear in about half a minute.Due to the glycerol is sticky,so it must be diluted by flammable organic solvent dilution such as absolute ethyl alcohol,but the solvent should not be add too much.
