It is commercially produced either synthetically from propene, or by bacterial fermentation of sugars; it is not produced from fat. Used as low-calorie sweetener, humectant (helps keep food moist). Can be found in bakery, confectionery products, and casings for meats and cheeses. Glycerol is absorbed and metabolised as glucose (by the body) into fats.
