1) Food industry
(2) Pharmaceutical and personal care applications
Glycerol is used in medical and pharmaceutical and
personal care preparations, mainly as a means of
improving smoothness, providing lubrication and as a
humectant
(3 )Surface science
Glycerol is shown to reduce the coefficient of friction
of polymer coated surfaces by several orders of
magnitude. This effect is attributed to the enhanced
viscosity of glycerol-water solutions as compared to the
pure water
(4) Botanical extracts
When utilized in tincture method extractions,
specifically as a 10% solution, glycerol prevents
tannins from precipitating in ethanol extracts of plants
(tinctures). It is also used as a substitute for ethanol
as a solvent in preparing herbal extractions
Glycerine is widely used in chemistry, paint industry,
texitile and dyeing, and foods, as hygroscopic agent and
sugar substitute.Crude Glycerine 80% is generated from
Oleochemicals factory, light brown colour, 80% min.A
dark brown viscous liquid derived from trans-
esterification of crude palm oil.

(5) Antifreeze
Glycerol was historically used as an anti-freeze for
automotive applications before being replaced by
ethylene glycol, which has a lower freezing point. While
the minimum freezing point of a glycerol-water mixture
is higher than an ethylene-glycol mixture, glycerol is
not toxic and is being re-examined for use in automotive
applications
(6) Chemical intermediate
Glycerol is used to produce nitroglycerin, or glycerol-
trinitrate .Reliance on soap-making to supply co-product
glycerine made it difficult to increase production to
meet wartime demand.
(7) Fuel
glycerol can be used as an alternative to d
