Glycerin
Glycerol, also known as glycerin or glycerine, is a simple polyol compound. Glycerol is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is sweet-tasting and non-toxic. It is also used as a bacterial culture medium. Its presence in blood can be used as an effective marker to measure liver disease. It is also widely used as a sweetener in the food industry and as a humectant in pharmaceutical formulations. Because of its three hydroxyl groups, glycerol is miscible with water and is hygroscopic in nature.
