Abstract Glycerin is widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and foods. In recent years, it has been mainly derived from plant-based materials, particularly palm oil. The most abundant polyphenol in palm oil is 3-O-caffeoylshikimic acid (CSA). Polyphenols reportedly react with oxygen to generate....
