Download or read book Analytical Methods for Glycerol written by M. R. F. Ashworth and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analytical Methods for Glycerol covers the detection, identification, determination, and separation of glycerol in analytical procedures. The book discusses the chemical and physical information about glycerol; analytical work on the important naturally occurring and synthetic materials containing combined glycerol; and the analysis of glycerol samples, especially from the point of view of pharmacopoiea specifications. The text also describes the important methods for the enzymic determination of glycerol. Methods based on residual glycerol hydroxyl groups, methods based on the release of glycerol from its combined state in the sample, and methods based on probable participation of the complete molecules of the sample are also considered. Chemists and people involved in the study of analytical methods of glycerol will find the book invaluable.
