About Glycerol
Glycirol is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is sweet-tasting and non-toxic. Glycerol is a simple polyol compound also called glycerine or glycerin. Glycerol is generally obtained from plant and animal sources where it occurs in triglycerides, esters of glycerol with long-chain carboxylic acids.
Due to having antimicrobial and antiviral properties it is widely used in FDA approved wound and burn treatments. In food and beverages, glycerol serves as a humectant, solvent, and sweetener, and may help preserve foods. Glycerol is used in medical, pharmaceutical and personal care preparations, often as a means of improving smoothness, providing lubrication, and as a humectant.
