To summarize the process, not directly. Glycerin is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations. Since glycerol forms the backbone of triglycerides, it is produced by saponification or transesterification. These processes are seen in soap-making and biodiesel production. Glycerol is a 10% by-product of biodiesel production. The process involves reacting vegetable oils or animal fats catalytically with a short-chain aliphatic alcohols (typically methanol or ethanol) to produce the fuel and glycerol. Hence glycerol is created by processing a variety of fats from both animals and vegetables and not from pigs alone.
