Glycerin, or glycerol, is a thick, clear, colorless, odorless, viscous, non-toxic, sweet-tasting liquid that dissolves in water and ethanol in any proportion, but is very insoluble in other solvents.
What is glycerin?
It is a three-factor alcohol with very low toxicity, with the chemical formula C3H5 (OH) 3, which consists of three carbon chains, each attached to a hydroxyl group. The natural form of this substance is obtained from the conversion of fats and oils into fatty acids or methyl ester fatty acids, and the synthetic type is synthesized from non-glyceride sources.
Is glycerol the same as glycerin?
Although the use of the name glycerol instead of glycerin is very common, it is conventionally referred to as the constituent of glycerol and glycerin as the material used. Glycerin syrup, for example, is about 99.7 percent glycerol.
