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.

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.
