Glycerol

Description:

Glycerol, also known as glycerin or glycerin, is a colorless, odorless, and viscous liquid with the chemical formula C3H8O3. It is a triol, meaning it contains three hydroxyl (-OH) groups, which contribute to its hygroscopic nature, allowing it to attract and retain moisture. Glycerol is soluble in water and alcohol but insoluble in oils, making it a versatile compound in various applications. It is commonly used in the food industry as a sweetener and humectant, in pharmaceuticals as a solvent and preservative, and in cosmetics for its moisturizing properties. Glycerol is non-toxic and generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory agencies. Additionally, it has a relatively high boiling point and low volatility, which makes it stable under normal conditions. Its ability to form hydrogen bonds contributes to its high viscosity and surface tension. Glycerol can also be derived from natural sources, such as vegetable oils, through processes like saponification or transesterification, making it a sustainable choice in many formulations.

Glycerine

CAS: 56-81-5

Glycerine is a trihydric alcohol that is used as a solvent in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and soaps. It also acts as an emollient and humectant. Glycerin is produced by hydrolysis of fats or oils with water and the catalytic use of strong base. The reaction mechanism for glycerin is: CH3-CO-OH + H2O → CH2-OH-CO-H + H+ The carbonyl oxygens are protonated to form carboxylates, which in turn react with water to form hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbons form esters with the glycerol molecule. The water vapor can be removed by distillation and the resulting product is glycerine.
