A naturally hydrophilic molecule, it is used in both icing and frozen blood to prevent crystallization which would otherwise damage the product.

Discovered by Carl Scheele when he heated olive oil with litharge, this by- product of saponification is found the salt-solution known as spent lye, and nowadays it is generally synthesized from propylene. The simplest trihydric alcohol, this sweet, viscous chemical has formula C3H5(OH)3, a nitric acid triester of it is often used to treat heart attack victims or create explosives. For ten points, name this chemical, a molecule which joins with three fatty acid chains to form natural fats and oils.
