Glycerol, also known as glycerol, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C3H8O3. It is a simple polyol compound. It is a colorless, odorless, and sweet viscous liquid, non-toxic. The glycerol backbone exists in lipids called glycerides. Due to its antibacterial and antiviral properties, it is widely used in FDA approved wound and burn treatments. On the contrary, it is also used as a bacterial culture medium [1]. It can serve as an effective biomarker for measuring liver disease. It is also widely used as a sweetener in the food industry and as a moisturizer in pharmaceutical formulations. Due to its three hydroxyl groups, glycerol is miscible with water and has hygroscopicity [2].
