Glycerol, also known as glycerin, is a colourless, odourless, viscous liquid with a sweet taste. It is scientifically known as propane-1,2,3-triol. The name "glycerol" is derived from the Greek word "glykeros," which means sweet. The scientific name propane-1,2,3-triol reflects the chemical structure of the compound, which consists of three hydroxyl groups attached to a propane backbone.
Glycerol is a naturally occurring compound that can be derived from animal fats or vegetable oils. It is a humectant, which means it has the ability to attract and retain moisture.
