I have used Glycerol in a low sugar/low fat icecream I made in a home ice cream maker; it works pretty well at stopping it freezing solid, so I can see why it's there.

So does a small quantity of Arrowroot, I used to add that when making my own ice cream.

Be aware that glycerol has as many calories as regular sugar. It does have a lower glycemic index, though.
