Use as a Carrier for Flavours

Glycerin is used as a carrier for flavours: it dissolves fat-soluble aromas, distributes them evenly and gives the finished blend a pleasantly full mouthfeel. Following the "Shake & Enjoy" principle, you add your flavour concentrate to the base – with POPY TRADE Shake & Enjoy Flavours the usual flavour ratio in the finished blend is 10%. Our Glycerin VG E422 at 99.5% purity is ideal for this. Beyond flavours, the substance suits beverages, yogurt and quark, desserts, ice cream and baking – as a moisture-binding component as well as a sweet note without crystallising.

What Else the Raw Material Is Good For

Beyond mixing, glycerin is used in food and beverages, as a carrier for flavours, in cosmetics and personal care (such as for your own creams and soaps) as well as in pharmacy. Its moisture-binding effect keeps baked goods juicier for longer, and its high viscosity gives syrups and creams structure. If you regularly need larger quantities, the 700ml Glycerin & 300ml Propylene Glycol makes a fitting combo base set.

Purity & Food Grade Quality

Every batch is tested for purity before shipping: 99.5% per Ph. Eur. / USP, without unnecessary additives. The designation E422 stands for the approved plant-based food additive glycerin. It is filled into a food-grade 700ml bottle with a dosing aid for drip-accurate pouring, manufactured in Germany. Storage: keep well closed, cool and protected from direct sunlight – this keeps the quality stable for many months. Glycerin is naturally long-lasting.

Practical Check: How Mixing Works

Community practice: add the flavour and glycerin to a mixing bottle, shake vigorously, let it rest briefly – and your own flavour blend is ready. The high viscosity ensures the flavour doesn't settle immediately but stays evenly distributed in the bottle. Tip for beginners: start with a small amount, then work your way up to 10% flavour ratio in the finished blend and check the taste. This avoids overly strong mixes and gives you a well-rounded result – no crystallisation, no bitter aftertaste.
