Description

• General description: Glycerol is a simple polyol compound,[1] which is obtained as a byproduct of soap and biodiesel industries.[2]
• Application: Glycerol has been used as a supplement during cell culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium.a fuel during designing enzymatic biofuel cell.a liquid composite matrix with 4-HCCA and 3-amino­quinoline for analysis of neutral and acidic glycans.a matrix for fast atom bombardment MS.may be employed as liquid matrix for the quantification studies by MALDI (Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry) analysis.
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Glycerol is hygroscopic in nature and is soluble in water owing to its three hydrophilic alcoholic hydroxyl groups. It can form both inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonds, making it a very flexible molecule. The physiologic effect of glycerine is due to cell-mediated immunity, increased IgG production and increased histamine release.
