POPY TRADE Vegetable Glycerin VG E422 99,5%

Vegetable Glycerin VG E422 — Pure Substance in Food Quality

Glycerin (glycerol) is a trivalent sugar alcohol with the E number E422. The POPY TRADE VG comes exclusively from plant oils, so it is 100% plant-based and vegan — no animal fat as a starting material. At 99.5% purity it meets the Ph. Eur. / USP specification. The fluid is colourless, syrup-like in viscosity and tastes almost neutral with a light sweet note. These very properties make it a popular raw material for humectancy, flavour rounding and texture — without masking the character of your ingredients or flavours.

Applications at a Glance

Vegetable glycerin is used in foods and beverages (humectancy, texture, syrup concentrate, baked goods, desserts), as a carrier for flavours, in cosmetics and personal care (e.g. homemade creams and soaps) as well as in pharmacy. When blended with POPY TRADE aromas it rounds off the mouthfeel and gives your creations a smooth body. Practical tip for mixability: since glycerin is very viscous, it pays to warm the required amount to a max of 40°C before dosing — then it can be measured precisely and distributes evenly.

Who Is It For?

Hobby bakers, dessert fans, DIY enthusiasts and anyone who values pure raw materials with proven purity. Whether for moisture in baked goods, as a humectant in candies and gummies, to optimise a syrup base or as an addition to vegan recipes — the 100 ml bottle goes a long way. Those who need larger quantities for regular batches will find the right bigger size in the POPY TRADE 700 ml Glycerin variant. Everything ships from our German warehouse with short delivery routes.

Ingredients & Quality

The product consists of 100% plant-based glycerin (glycerol) — no additives, no fillers. The 99.5% purity is at pharmaceutical level (Ph. Eur. / USP), making it a reliable raw material for demanding applications. The EU Food Information Regulation (FIC) is observed; no animal-derived components are contained. The light-protective packaging preserves stability and purity over the long term. Since glycerin is hygroscopic, simply seal it well after use — your stock will then stay stable for many months to years when stored cool and dry at 15–25°C.

Practical Check: Blending Glycerin & Flavours

Here is how it works in everyday use: take your mixing base, add the required amount of warmed vegetable glycerin and then add your favourite aroma — such as our Shake & Enjoy Strawberry & Kiwi Aroma. The VG rounds off the mouthfeel, makes the texture smoother and rounds out the flavour without distorting the fruity note. Practical tip: warm the base first, then work in the glycerin, and add the aroma last — this prevents clumping. Shelf life: store cool, dry and protected from light and seal firmly after each use, because glycerin draws moisture from the air.
