Research Summary

Food and pharmaceutical grade propylene glycol refers to highly purified forms of propylene glycol, a synthetic compound used widely in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial sectors. Propylene glycol itself is a colorless, odorless, and slightly sweet-tasting liquid that is miscible with water. Food grade propylene glycol adheres to strict regulations set by agencies like the FDA, ensuring its safety for human consumption as a food additive (E1520). It serves various functions in food products, including as a humectant, solvent, and preservative, enhancing texture and prolonging shelf life. Pharmaceutical grade propylene glycol meets stringent quality standards, making it suitable for use in pharmaceutical formulations as a solubilizing agent and stabilizer for medications in oral, topical, and injectable forms. Both grades of propylene glycol play crucial roles in maintaining product quality, safety, and stability across diverse applications.
