Shelf Life
- In a controlled study, Procter & Gamble stored glycerin in sealed containers in a controlled environment at 73±3°F (22.8 ±1.7 ͦC) for 18 months.
- The glycerin was analyzed peri- odically throughout and at the end of the storage study. All intermediate and final samples maintained adherence to USP limits and odor/flavor requirements.
- A normal recommended long-term storage temperature for glycerin is ambient conditions. To avoid possible color degra- dation, the optimal storage conditions would be as near to 73°F as possible.
