Glycerine
(gcide) | Glycerin \Glyc"er*in\, Glycerine \Glyc"er*ine\, n. [F.
glyc['e]rine, fr. Gr. glykero`s, glyky`s, sweet. Cf.
Glucose, Licorice.] (Chem.)
An oily, viscous liquid, C3H5(OH)3, colorless and odorless,
and with a hot, sweetish taste, existing in the natural fats
and oils as the base, combined with various acids, as oleic,
margaric, stearic, and palmitic. It may be obtained by
saponification of fats and oils. It is a triatomic alcohol,
and hence is also called glycerol. See Note under
Gelatin.
[1913 Webster]
Note: It is obtained from fats by saponification, or, on a
large scale, by the action of superheated steam. It is
used as an ointment, as a solvent and vehicle for
medicines, and as an adulterant in wine, beer, etc.

(gcide) | Nitroglycerin \Ni`tro*glyc"er*in\, Nitroglycerine
\Ni`tro*glyc"er*ine\(n[imac]`tr[-o]*gl[i^]s"[~e]r*[i^]n), n.
[Nitro- + glycerin.] (Chem.)
A liquid appearing like a heavy oil, colorless or yellowish,
and consisting of a mixture of several glycerin salts of
nitric acid, and hence more properly called {glycerin
nitrate}; also called trinitroglycerin and {glyceryl
trinitrate}. It is made by the action of nitric acid on
glycerin in the presence of sulphuric acid. It is extremely
unstable and terribly explosive. A very dilute solution is
used in medicine as a neurotic under the name of glonion.
[Written also nitroglycerine.]
[1913 Webster]
Note: A great number of explosive compounds have been
produced by mixing nitroglycerin with different
substances; as, dynamite, or giant powder,
nitroglycerin mixed with siliceous earth;
lithofracteur, nitroglycerin with gunpowder, or with
sawdust and nitrate of sodium or barium; Colonia
powder, gunpowder with nitroglycerin; dualin,
nitroglycerin with sawdust, or with sawdust and nitrate
of potassium and some other substances; lignose, wood
fiber and nitroglycerin.
[1913 Webster]Explosive \Ex*plo"sive\, n.
1. An explosive agent; a compound or mixture susceptible of a
rapid chemical reaction, as gunpowder, TNT,
dynamite, or nitro-glycerine.
[1913 Webster +PJC]
2. A sound produced by an explosive impulse of the breath;
(Phonetics) one of consonants p, b, t, d, k, g, which are
sounded with a sort of explosive power of voice.
