Description:Glycerol
(or glycerine, glycerin) is a simple polyol (sugar alcohol) compound. It is a
colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is widely used in pharmaceutical
formulations. Glycerol has three hydroxyl groups that are responsible for its
solubility in water and its hygroscopic nature. The glycerol backbone is
central to all lipids known as triglycerides. Glycerol is sweet-tasting and of
low toxicity.
