• Recent NIPH Clinical Trials: Effects of vitamin D supplementation on risks of delayed relapse or death in patients with cancer and especially in a subgroup of patients with p53-positive cancer
• Inhalation Risk: Evaporation at 20 °C is negligible; a nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying.
• Industrial Byproduct and Production: Glycerin is generated as a byproduct of the biodiesel industry in significant quantities.; It is used in the production of glyceryl monostearate (GMS), a commonly used monoglyceride in cosmetics, personal care, and food sectors.; GMS is produced commercially through esterification or transesterification processes involving glycerin.
• Applications in Sensing and Optics: Glycerin is utilized in the fabrication of temperature sensors, such as polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber (PMPCF) sensors.; PMPCF sensors filled with glycerin solutions exhibit high sensitivity in temperature measurement based on Sagnac interference.
• Applications in Food Processing and Material Science: Glycerin is employed as a plasticizer in food processing to enhance material flexibility.; It induces hydrophobic cross-linking and crystalline domains in organic solvents, which can reduce the water sensitivity of protein scaffolds; It is used in the modification of soy protein for the fabrication of porous three-dimensional scaffolds.
• Applications in Polymerization and Material Processing: Glycerin is recommended for submersion of resin during the post-polymerization process by some resin manufacturers.; It improves the mechanical properties of materials during bulk polymerization at elevated temperatures.
• Applications in Distillation and Separation: Glycerin is effective in suppressing the azeotropic behavior of ethanol-water mixtures and increasing the relative volatility of ethanol to water.; It serves as an entrainer for extractive distillation, increasing the purity of produced ethanol.; Glycerin-water mixtures are used for the absorption of ethanol vapor carried by CO2, enhancing absorption rates compared to pure water.
