Technical documentation, availability and sample requests.
Food-grade vegetable glycerine (E422) provides humectant, stabilising, solvent and carrier properties. Food manufacturers use it in foods, beverages, flavourings and dietary supplements. It also supports many formulations that require consistent quality, safety and performance.
Spiga Nord produces high-purity refined vegetable glycerine exclusively from plant-based raw materials. The company develops its products for the requirements of the international food industry.
Spiga Nord products meet the specifications for glycerol E422, the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC). They also follow the applicable specifications established by Commission Regulation (EU ) 2023/1329. These standards provide food, nutraceutical and functional ingredient manufacturers with a reliable raw material.
Food manufacturers use Spiga Nord vegetable glycerine to:
Typical applications include baked goods, confectionery, chewing gum, spreads and beverages. Manufacturers also use vegetable glycerine in plant-based products, dietary supplements and nutraceuticals. These applications require food safety, repeatable processes and consistent quality.
The food industry must meet increasingly strict requirements. These requirements cover safety, traceability, regulatory compliance and sustainability. Food manufacturers also expect reliable supplies, complete technical documentation and regulatory support.
Companies should not choose glycerine on price alone. They must also evaluate compliance with European regulations, contaminant control and batch traceability. Product stability and internationally recognised certifications also influence the decision.
Spiga Nord produces food-grade glycerine in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2023/1329 and Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs. The company also holds authorisation from the competent Italian authorities to produce and store glycerol as a food additive.
A dedicated identification system tracks every batch from the raw material to the finished product. Stability studies confirm a shelf life of 24 months under the recommended storage conditions.
Spiga Nord offers a complete range of vegetable glycerine E422, designed to meet the diverse needs of the food industry, ingredient manufacturers, nutraceutical companies, and customers who require documentation compliant with the European Pharmacopoeia.
