Glycerol
E422What is this ingredient?
Glycerine (glycerol, E422) is a sweetish, odourless liquid that is one of the building blocks of fats. It is used as a humectant (a substance that keeps food moist) in cakes, biscuits, chocolate bars and confectionery to stop them drying out and hardening, and as a solvent in flavourings. It is obtained by splitting vegetable or animal fats or as a by-product of biodiesel production. Apart from energy, it adds no nutritional value; no adverse effects are known at the amounts used in food.
Ingredient class: 4

Sorbitols
E420What is this ingredient?
Sorbitol (E420) is a sugar alcohol that occurs naturally in some fruits and is less sweet than sugar. It is used as a sweetener in sugar-free chewing gum and confectionery, and as a humectant (a substance that keeps food moist) in cakes, biscuits and bars to stop them drying out. Industrially, it is made by hydrogenating glucose obtained from maize or wheat starch. It is a sugar alcohol that provides less energy than sugar; eating too much can have a laxative effect (gas, diarrhoea), which is why products containing more than a certain amount carry this information on the label.
