Propylene glycol is a versatile compound widely utilized in various industrial and consumer goods. It is a colorless, odorless, and slightly viscous liquid that readily mixes with water. In biochemical and physiological research, propylene glycol finds extensive use as a solvent due to its non-toxic nature and low vapor pressure. It also serves as an effective cryoprotectant, safeguarding cells and tissues against the detrimental consequences of freezing. Furthermore, propylene glycol has proven valuable in investigations concerning drug absorption, metabolism, and distribution.
