Do all plants contain glycerin? How can I extract it from the plants?

Licorice or Glycyrrhiza glabra has some compounds in its roots.Liquorice extract is produced by boiling liquorice root and subsequently evaporating most of the water.Its active principle is glycyrrhizin, a sweetener more than 50 times as sweet as sucrose which also has pharmaceutical effects.

Plants take in oxygen, carbon dioxide and water, and produce sugar which contains carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms from all three. So they use more water than they put out. In fact, I don't believe they "exhale" water the way we do at all,

YUCCA EXTRACT IS MADE FROM THE LOWEST PARTS OF THE SPINES WHERE THEY MEET THE STEM,...ALSO THE STEM IS GOOD AND THE ROOTS.  IT IS MADE BY TAKING THE USABLE PARTS, SEPERATING THEM FROM THE UNUSABLE PARTS.  TAKE A ONE GALLON JAR, FILL IT WITH THE USABLE PARTS AND POUR GRAIN ALCOHOL OVER IT, PUT THE LID ON IT AND LET IT SIT IN THE SUN FOR 2&1/2 WEEKS, TAKE THE PARTS OUT AFTER THAT, TOSS THEM AWAY,....TAKE THE REMAINING LIQUID AND POUR IT INTO SHALLOW DISHES AND LET IT EVAPORATE UNTIL IT IS ABOUT 1/ 20th THE VOLUME OF THE ORIGINAL ONE GALLON.....THIS IS THE EXTRACT. YOU CAN LET IT EVAPORATE MORE TO GET BETTER EXTRACT. THE ALCOHOL SHOULD NOT PLAY A ROLL IN THE FINAL RESULT....BOTTLE THIS UP AND THERE YOU HAVE IT......YOU MUST BE OF AGE TO DO THIS.

I'm guessing you are asking how to make BIODIESEL from vegetable oil. Here is my answer to that:\n\nThe process is quite simple. Alchohol and vegetable oil or some other similar fat are mixed with the catalyst. It can be used animal fats or vegetable oils. The alchohol can be methanol or ethanol. Methanol is generally cheaper since it is made in industrial quantities from petroleum. Sodium hydroxide (aka lye or caustic soda) or potassium hydroxide are mixed in as the catalyst.\n\n1. Methanol and sodium hydroxide are combined making sodium methoxide.\n2. Sodium methoxide is mixed and stirred with vegetable oil (trigycerides). The oil molecules break apart and this produces methylesters and glycerol. The glycerol and catalyst will settle to the bottom as they are both denser than the methylesters. The methylester is drained off after the reaction is complete, about 8 hours.\n3. The methylester (biodiesel) is washed by mixing it with water. The water dissolves any traces of the catalyst and the alchohol. After settling for a few days the water can be drained from the bottom of the tank.\nThe glycerol can be filtered and purified as well. It can be burnt as fuel, or it makes a powerful degreaser (it is already almost soap) and can be made into high quality soap.\n\n*******************************************************\nIf your question is actually how to REFINE CRUDE VEGETABLE OIL into refined vegetable oil, then here are the steps:\n1. Oil extraction from seeds using pressing, solvents, or both (e.g. high quality virgin olive oil is pressed, while lower quality pomace uses solvents to extract)\n2. oil refiining: the crude vegetable oil is mixed with sodium hydroxide which removes the free fatty acids by forming soap\n3. bleaching: this removes pigments by adding a 'bleaching clay' and then filtering the clay\n4. deoderization: this removes volatile compounds and is often done by heating and distillation\n5. fractional crystallization: this is separation of solid fats by allowing the oil to solidify at cooler temperautes\n6. winterization: often some oils must have the fats which solidfy at low room temperatures removed. The oil is cooled and the solids filtered out. \n7. hydrogenation: this binds hydrogen to the unsaturated fatty acids and prevents later oxidation and can be used to make the oil solid\n8. texturing: this is a process where cooled fats are whipped to add some air and improve the texture and appearance, used for shortening\nhttp://www.markets.duke.edu/student_it/soc142_spring2002/team4/sustaining.html

By making glycerine a low pH, you make it more acidic. Bleaching solutions are more stable at a low pH.\n\n"bleaching products include glycerine, sodium stannate, flavorings, and phosphoric or citric\nacid. Because bleaching solutions are more stable at a lower pH, phosphoric or citric acid\nis added to lower their pH. Commonly, home bleaching products have a pH range of from\n5 to 7, but some products vary from 3 to 8.5 due to variations in quality control. It is\nimportant to note that the somewhat low pH of bleaching products is quickly neutralized\nwhen the solution comes into contact with saliva."

Animals inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Green plants are the only plants that produce oxygen and make food, which is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis means ''putting together with light.'' This takes place in chloroplasts, which have chlorophyll in them. Chlorophyll absorbs the sunlight. From sunlight, green plants combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen. Green plants use sugar to make starch, fats, and proteins. There are tiny pores called stomota. Oxygen and carbon dioxide enter and leave through the stomata.\nhttp://library.thinkquest.org/3715/photo3.html\n\nImportance of Photosynthesis\n\nAnimals and plants both synthesize fats and proteins from carbohydrates; thus glucose is a basic energy source for all living organisms. The oxygen released (with water vapor, in transpiration) as a photosynthetic byproduct, principally of phytoplankton, provides most of the atmospheric oxygen vital to respiration in plants and animals, and animals in turn produce carbon dioxide necessary to plants. Photosynthesis can therefore be considered the ultimate source of life for nearly all plants and animals by providing the source of energy that drives all their metabolic processes.

Where do all plants get their energy?\n\nnutrients from the soil for plants in the ground, sunlight for plants with green leaves.

Try dehydrating it or just add glycerol.

Water and "nutrients" depending on the specific type of cell. Plant cells need inorganic nitrogen compounds (ammonia, nitrate), phosphate, iron, magnesium, manganese, copper,...\nAnimal cells need organic substances like sugars or amino acids (which plant cells can produce on their own) additionally to vitamins and ions (iron, copper, cobalt, zinc, molybdenum, iodine, selenium,...)

Water is crucial to photosynthasis, but you may be surprised at the results of other liquids (that are water based of course, everything else will kill the plant---fast!) Just play around with it, that is the fun of experiments. Try some liquids that are more acidic and some that are more basic. Sprite, asprin dissolved in water.... Maybe try coffee--I know that coffee grounds work as a great compost and make plants grow faster and fuller. Who know? Good luck & have fun!

Fatty acids & glycerol are the end products.....those fatty acids may be saturated or unsaturated too.

d) use a nitrate ester of glycerin. The body will hydrolyze the nitrates leaving glycerin, the active chemical.

i don't believe you can extract cholorophyl from leaves without damaging the leaves

First you could look at the label and see if it contains any potentially harmful chemicals to plants, such as sodium, boron, and chlorides or mineral nutrients that plants require, such as potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus, \nmagnesium, calcium, sulfate, etc. Most detergents no longer contain high levels of phosphorus, because phosphates in detergents were once a major water pollution problem.\n\nAnother thing to do is to contact the manufacturer and ask if they have any information on its effects on plants. Many products have a toll-free phone number on the package. \n\nIf you have access to an electrical conductivity (EC) meter, an EC reading on the wash water might indicate if there was a problem with high salinity. \n\nDo a web search for gray water, because many environmentalists advocate using laundry water, bath water, etc. for plant irrigation.

No the plant could not produce starch without chlorophyll. They synthesize the sugar from water and carbon dioxide in a process called photosynthesis.
