Glycerin
Description:
Glycerin is a triatomic alcohol that can be used as a moisture-retaining agent, stabilizer. Due to its hygroscopicity, it binds the water available in the freshly prepared product, thereby preventing or significantly slowing its evaporation into the atmosphere. As a result, the consistency of the original product (for example, a biscuit) is preserved and its freshness is prolonged. The effect of the additive is enhanced by the use of sealed packaging.
