It depends on the recipe and what the intended outcome needs to be. Glycerin (vegetable for food use) provides more elasticity and helps the food substance to retain moisture so that it does not begin to crackle and/or flake. For example, if you are making an icing for a cake, and the recipe requires glycerin (vegetable, of course), then you should not substitute corn syrup, otherwise you could end up with a icing that looks like a dried mud flat out in some desert. Corn syrup is a glucose based concoction and is high in caloric content as well. Glycerin is low in caloric content, provides elasticity, and retains moisture.

Is glycerin the same as corn syrup?
No, glycerin and corn syrup are entirely different substances with different uses in baking.
A jar contains 30 mL of glycerin and 60 mL of corn syrup. which liquid is the top layer?
corn syrup's density is more so it will float on top of the glycerin
Would glycerin be ontop or corn syrup?
Corn syrup would settle below glycerol (glycerol would be on top) because the density of corn syrup is greater than that of glycerol
Is glycerin or corn syrup a better mixture for bubbles?
glycerin is better but I'm not sure why yet. I'm trying to figure that out.
What is a substitute for vaseline?
I think shortening would be good. Only if its for your lips.

What is 100mL of vegetable oil and corn syrup in grams?
100ml of vegetable oil weighs between 92.1 and 92.5 grams depending on the type of oil. Corn Syrup weighs 138 grams per 100ml.
Can you replace crisco oil with light corn syrup?
No, oil and syrup are not interchangeable.
Does corn syrup evaporate quicker than vegtbale oil?
Corn syrup is a mixture of water and corn sugars. When corn syrup losses water, the sugar is left. Vegetable is just a mixture too, but a mixture of very similar molecules. Vegetable oil does not give off its molecules easily. For all practical purposes, it does not evaporate at normal room temperature. Comparing the two, over a period of days or weeks, the water will leave the corn syrup first and then little else happens. The syrup will leave a solid and the vegetable will not appear to change.
Why does syrup have more density than vegetable oil?
Corn syrup has more density: about 1.360 g/ml. Vegetable oil is about 0.89 g/ml.
Arrange corn syrup water and vegetable oil in order of low to high viscosity?
Water is the least viscous, with vegetable oil being 2nd on the list and the most viscous would be corn syrup. Viscosity can be dependent on the liquid, and can also change when a solute is dissolved in the liquid.
What is the difference in molasses and corn syrup?
High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is any of a group of corn syrups which have undergone enzymatic processing in order to increase their fructose content and are then mixed with pure corn syrup (100% glucose) to reach their final form. Corn Syrup is a viscous, sweet syrup produced by breaking down (hydrolyzing) cornstarch, either by heating it with a dilute acid or by combining it with enzymes. Cornstarch, or cornflour, is the starch of the maize grain, commonly known as corn.
