Glycerine (1,2,3- trihydroxypropane, 1,2,3- propanetriol) is widely found in nature in the form of glycerides, which are the main components of natural fats and vegetable oils. Glycerine was first discovered by the Swedish scientist Karl Scheele in 1779.
Properties
Pure vegetable Glycerine is a colorless viscous liquid with no obvious odor and sweet taste. At normal pressure, it melts at 18,6 ° C and boils at 290 ° C. Glycerine is soluble in water and alcohols, is moderately soluble in ether and ethyl acetate and insoluble in most hydrocarbons. It readily reacts with many organic and inorganic compounds to form esters, aliphatic and aromatic ethers and glycerides metals.
Application
Glycerine is used in confectionery, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paints, explosives, and other manufacturing processes. In the food industry, Glycerine is added to cakes and sweets to improve the consistency and the sugar coating (it prevents sugar crystallization). It is also used as a solvent in extracts, flavors and food dyes.
Glycerine is widely used in medicine and the production of pharmaceuticals. It is used for the following purposes: to dissolve drugs, moisture tablets and pills. It increases the viscosity of liquid drugs, protects from enzymatic changes during the fermentation of liquids and drying of ointments, pastes and creams.
Glycerine is an excellent solvent of iodine, bromine, phenol, thymol, tannins, alkaloids, and mercuric chloride. When added instead of water, glycerine forms highly concentrated medical solutions.
When hot glycerine is dissolved in boric acid, it forms boric glycerine acid, an effective antiseptic remedy.
Glycerine has antiseptic properties, so it is used to prevent wounds infections. The antiseptic and preservative properties of glycerol along with its hygroscopicity dehydrate and kill bacteria.
Glycerine is used to slow down the drying of cosmetics, mouthwash, lotions, suppositories and toothpastes.
Glycerine is widely used for the formation of alkyd resins during the manufacture of coatings and paints. In a mixture of fumaric, nitric and sulfuric acids, glycerol forms nitroglycerine--an explosive component of dynamite and kordite.
Glycerine is also used for tobacco harvesting (to keep the leaves moist), as an antifreeze, as a lubricant and as a plasticizer of cellophane and other plastics. Glycerine is added to adhesives and other bonding materials to prevent them from drying out too fast. In medicine, Glycerine is also used as a protective medium for freezing red blood cells, cornea and other living tissues.
