Comprehensive Overview of Glycerin: Uses, History, and Production

Glycerin, also known as glycerine, is a versatile compound with the chemical formula C3H5(OH)3 and a molecular weight of 92.10. Discovered in 1779 by Swedish scientist K.W. Shele, the term comes from the Greek word glykys, meaning "sweet." This colorless, odorless, and viscous liquid is commonly used in soaps, drugs, skin creams, deodorants, and food wrappers. It is produced through the refining of sweet water from the hydrolysis of oils and fats, making it a non-toxic product widely utilized in various industries.
