Superol KPO Kosher Glycerin USP/FCC/EP is derived from tropical tree nut sources (palm kernel/coconut/palm). Crude oil is extracted or extruded from seeds or fruits of plants, followed by a degumming process to remove phosphatides and slimes (i.e., water mixed with oil). After that, the oil goes through a refining, bleaching and deodorizing (RBD) process to remove organic and inorganic impurities and reduce colors, odors, and flavors. The triglyceride component in RBD grade oil undergoes an esterification reaction to form crude glycerine and methyl esters. Crude glycerine is further refined to produce refined glycerine in a series of purification steps (concentration, distillation, condensation, and carbon bleaching). Industrial chemical, liquid, viscous, Clear, colorless with slight, odorless odor.
