Vegetable glycerine is extracted from fats or oils. The use of pressure, heat, and water results in the absorption of glycerol fats in the water through the process of hydrolysis. The result is a clear, colorless, odorless liquid which is sweet in nature. Glycerine is soluble in both water and alcohol, so it is often used in cosmetics.
The reason it is the best choice for stevia is that glycerine helps in the solvency of plant extracts. The sweet flavor also helps to quiet the slightly bitter taste of stevia. The best part is that it keeps alcohol out of the extract which is better for us as humans to consume. So if you use the liquid stevia, look to see what it has been extracted in.
