Pharma-Glycerine from EXCiPACT™ GMP/GDP Certified Process
EXCiPACT™ is a voluntary, international and independent certification scheme for pharmaceutical excipients. With an average of more than 90% of the volume and weight, these often make up the majority of a medicinal product. Excipients determine the shape, colour, smell and taste of pills and coated tablets and can control the release of active ingredients.
The EXCiPACT™ certification documents that the minimum requirements of GMP and GDP for an excipient have been met. It combines the binding quality standards of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Good Distribution Practice (GDP) for pharmaceutical excipients with the requirements of the IPEC and ISO 9001 standards. This makes it easier for pharmaceutical manufacturers to evaluate their excipients within their risk matrix. The compliance of producers and/or suppliers within the supply chain can be easily checked, eliminating the need for duplicate audits.

Industrial applications for vegetable glycerine:
Cosmetics
Glycerine is harmless to health and the environment. Due to its good skin compatibility, it is used as a moisturizer, substance carrier and emollient. In creams, glycerine supports skin care. Since glycerine is odorless, it forms a good basis for fragrances.
Toothpastes can contain up to 20-30% glycerine. It improves the taste, prevents the products from drying out and gives them shine.
Food and Baverage
Glycerine also has a wide range of applications in foods and beverages: It is used as a preservative, consistency and flavor improver and acts as a solvent for flavorings and food colorants in beverages and confectionery.
Glycerine is used as a humectant and plasticizer in candy, cakes, praline wrappers, meat pellets and cheese rinds.
Pharmaceuticals
Glycerine is a commonly used ingredient in medicines and pharmaceuticals. It serves as a solvent, moisturizer, humectant and consistency enhancer in medicinal tinctures, remedies and ointments. Other well-known applications include gargles, cough suppressants, capsules, pastilles, suppositories, anesthetics and adjuvants for antibiotics and antiseptics.
Our Glycerine from an EXCiPACT™ certified process fulfils the recognised GMP and GDP standards.
Homecare
Glycerine is also contained in many household products and detergents, for example as a humectant or softener. It is very kind to the skin and harmless to health and the environment.
Animal Feeds
Glycerine is used in dry feed to retain moisture and improve palatability.
In veterinary medicine, glycerine serves as a source of glucose in bovine ketosis.
Technical Uses
As a chemical alcohol, glycerine is widely used to produce other chemicals in chemical reactions. It is used as a lubricant and for the production of antifreeze and alkyd resins. It is also used in paper and textile production.
What is Glycerine?
Glycerine is a by-product of saponified, hydrolyzed or transesterified fats and oils. It was discovered in 1779 by the German-Swedish chemist and pharmacist Carl Wilhelm Scheele during the saponification of olive oil. The name of the liquid is derived from the Greek word glykys, "sweet."
Physically, glycerine is a water-soluble, colorless, odorless, clear and viscous liquid with a high boiling point. Chemically, glycerine is a trivalent alcohol that can be made to react and yet is stable under most conditions. Because of these unusual properties, its good compatibility with many other substances and its ease of processing, glycerine is used in many applications.
In 1854, the English entrepreneur, chemist and plant breeder George Fergusson Wilson developed a process to synthesize glycerine on an industrial scale. Today, it is generally refined by distillation after extraction in its raw state.
Glycerin, Glycerine or Glycerol? All names are correct and trivial names for a substance that chemically correctly, according to UIPAC nomenclature, is called Propan-1,2,3-triol. The most common name is glycerine. The name glycerol is also frequently used. It has the correct suffix "-ol" for an alcohol (the suffix "-in" stands for alkynes or amines). Glycerine is a sugar alcohol and the simplest trivalent alcohol, a so-called triol.
Production of Vegetable Glycerine
Glycerine is either of vegetable or petrochemical origin. CREMER OLEO's glycerine is predominantly based on vegetable oils, so-called triglycerides. It can be produced on an industrial scale using three established processes:
- Saponification – by-product in soap production
- Hydrolytic cleavage – by-product in the production of fatty acids
- mesterification – by-product of biodiesel production
In all processes, glycerol is a co-product, a by-product of a reaction that is mainly used to produce another product.
