Glyceryl (likely glycerin/glyceryl-based solvent or ester) is essentially odorless in isolation, with at most a faint sweetish oily nuance. It functions as a diluent or fixative carrier rather than contributing scent character.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Pale yellowish oily, somewhat viscous liquid, solidifying in the cold, melting again below room temperature.

Odor

High-grade products have only a faint, sweet-oily odor and a mild, fatty-oily taste.

Flavor

The presence of considerable amounts of free Oleic acid presents a hazard when the acid is slightly bitter if the concentration is higher than 100 ppm.

Uses in perfumery

It is mentioned in this work because it is an unusually good solvent for many perfume and flavor materials, and it is in most countries accepted as harmless in food flavors.

Uses in flavor

It is accepted as harmless in food flavors.

Production

Produced from Glycerol and Acetone by various means of treatment: in presence of Toluolsulfonic acid, in presence of Sulfamic acid, in presence of dry Hydrogen chloride, in presence of Cupric sulfate at low temperature, in absence of water, using anhydrous Glycerol.
