There are many edible and other items we consume daily to daily basis but we do not know anything about the ingredients being used in those products. We consume coffee, ice cream, dairy products and soft drinks almost everyday but we do not know about the ingredients in these products. The product which i have mentioned above includes Propylene Glycol Alberta.
It is commonly called as propane-1, 2-diol. Like its cousin ethylene glycol, propane is a colorless, odorless and has a sweet taste. But unlike its cousin it is less volatile and less toxic. Basically it is used in the production of polymers and food products. The initial material produced is basically used for industrial purpose and after further refinement of the product it is used for food products. Generally Propylene Glycol Alberta is produced from propylene oxide but it can also be converted from glycerol which is a biodiesel product. It is a form of mineral oil which is an alcohol produced by the fermentation of yeast and carbohydrates. That’s why it can also be called as carbohydrate when used in food.
It is not as harmful as ethylene glycol. Only when consumed in large quantities in a very short span of time. Overall Propylene Glycol Alberta is safe and very useful for humans in their everyday needs.
