POPY TRADE Glycerin & Propylene Glycol 1 Liter

Glycerin and Propylene Glycol – the base duo in a 2-pack

The set brings together two raw materials that are hard to do without in any home blending kitchen: 1 litre each of plant-based glycerin (E422) and propylene glycol (E1520), both in food quality. Glycerin adds a slight sweetness and a silky, syrup-like consistency. Propylene glycol is noticeably thinner and ensures that flavours distribute quickly and evenly throughout the blend. Together they create a largely taste-neutral base with which you can dilute highly concentrated food flavourings without distorting the taste profile. Anyone who regularly prepares their own syrups, baking aromas or creamy dessert blends will get plenty of use from both litres – the containers are easy to handle and seal cleanly.

Properties & Specs

These are the hard facts of the set – no marketing, just what's on the packaging and in the specification:

• Purity: 99.5% Ph. Eur. / USP
• E-number / Specification: E422 (plant-based glycerin), complemented by E1520 (propylene glycol)
• Pack size: 2-pack, 1 litre each
• Raw material base: plant-based

Both substances are approved as food additives in the EU and intended for direct use in food. If you're looking for only one of the two raw materials or a different pack size, it's best to check the respective single item in the shop.

Mixing Glycerin and Propylene Glycol: Ratio & Method

The 1:1 ratio has proven itself – that's 500 ml glycerin to 500 ml propylene glycol. Stir both fluids thoroughly or shake them in a sealable mixing bottle until the blend is uniform; the base itself does not need a long resting period. Then work in the desired flavour drop by drop – please take the dosage from the specifications of the respective product. Shake again afterwards and let the blend rest for a few hours so the aroma can fully develop. For mixing, we offer for example the POPY TRADE Shake & Enjoy Strawberry & Kiwi Aroma.

Who and what is the set intended for?

For anyone who doesn't just use food flavourings drop by drop directly, but wants to work them into their own blend. Typical applications: flavoured syrups for soft drinks and desserts, fine baking aromas for cakes and creams, nutty or fruity flavour profiles in milk-based mixed drinks. By choosing the mixing ratio you control the consistency yourself – more glycerin for thicker syrups, more propylene glycol for thinner solutions. The set is also practical for home cooks who want to reproduce recipes exactly: both litres can easily be measured out by volume. And for anyone who'd rather not blend anything at all but simply enjoy something ready-made, the range includes finished sweets like the CANNAShock Love Sex Gummies Strawberry.

Purity, E-numbers & Food Quality

The glycerin and propylene glycol in this set meet pharmaceutical purity: 99.5% Ph. Eur. / USP. Both are recognised as food additives – E422 for the plant-based glycerin, E1520 for the propylene glycol – and are expressly intended for use in food. The glycerin is derived from a plant-based raw material. Sensorily, both substances are largely neutral: they neither mask delicate fragrance notes nor alter the character of your flavours. After opening, store the containers cool, dry and protected from light, and reseal them tightly. popytrade supplies both raw materials tested and safely packaged, so your blends are built on a reliable foundation.

Practical Check: 50/50 in Five Minutes

Here's how it works in the kitchen: add 500 ml glycerin and 500 ml propylene glycol to a clean mixing bottle, put the lid on and shake vigorously – 20 to 30 seconds are enough for a homogeneous base. Then add the flavour drop by drop, shake again, let it stand briefly and taste. If the flavour suits you, decant the finished blend into smaller bottles and label them with the aroma and blending date. Tip: only mix as much base as you'll use within a few weeks – this keeps the flavour quality constant. And for anyone who fancies something ready-made after blending, the range includes for example the CANNAShock Boinky Boinkies Gummy Bears.
