Bio-PG in Food Industry: Safe and Eco-Friendly Solutions
The versatility of bio-based propylene glycol (PG) has made it an indispensable ingredient across multiple industries. Produced from renewable sources like glycerin and corn starch, it serves as a sustainable substitute for petroleum-based PG, offering the same properties while reducing environmental impact. Its wide range of applications demonstrates its importance in shaping the future of green chemistry.
In the cosmetics and personal care industry, bio-based PG is widely used as a humectant, solvent, and stabilizer. It enhances the texture and shelf life of lotions, shampoos, and creams while providing a plant-derived alternative to synthetic chemicals. As consumers increasingly favor clean-label and eco-friendly products, demand for bio-based PG in personal care continues to rise.
The pharmaceutical sector relies heavily on PG for drug formulations. Bio-based PG’s non-toxic and biodegradable properties make it suitable for oral syrups, injectable solutions, and topical treatments. It acts as a solvent for active ingredients and enhances drug delivery without compromising safety.
