IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE TO USP AND
FCC GRADE GLYCERIN?
There is an alternative to buying USP and FCC grade
glycerin, but it may not be practical. Manufacturers of end
products containing glycerin may fulfill their own GMP
requirements for raw materials by proving through their own
analyses that their glycerin is uncontaminated, safe, and
suitable for the intended application. However, many of the
analytical methods involved are extensive, time-consuming,
and costly. Thus, the cost-benefit ratio must be carefully
considered, if glycerin that is not USP or FCC certified is
used in sensitive and/or regulated applications.
