Glycerine is an organic compound more formally known as glycerol. Common sources are animal fat and vegetable oil. Glycerine is a clear, odorless liquid at room temperature and has a sweet taste. It is widely used in soaps and is a common ingredient in many pharmaceutical fields.

The molecular formula of glycerine is C3H5 (OH)3. It consists of a chain of three carbon atoms in which each carbon atom is bonded to a hydrogen atom (H +) and a hydroxyl group (OH-). Each of the two terminal carbon atoms has an additional hydrogen atom, making a total of four bonds between all three carbon atoms. Carbon has a valency of four, meaning it has a tendency to form four bonds.
