Glycerol is a metabolite found in or produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
| Physical Description | Glycerine appears as a colorless to brown colored liquid. Combustible but may require some effort to ignite. |
| Color/Form | Syrupy, rhombic plates |
| Odor | MILD ODOR |
| Melting Point | 64 °F (NTP, 1992) |
| Boiling Point | 554 °F at 760 mmHg (decomposes) (NTP, 1992) |
| Flash Point | 320 °F (NTP, 1992) |
| Density | 1.261 at 68 °F (USCG, 1999) - Denser than water; will sink |
| Solubility | greater than or equal to 100 mg/mL at 64 °F (NTP, 1992) |
| Vapor Pressure | 0.0025 mmHg at 122 °F ; 40 mmHg at 388 °F (NTP, 1992) |
