A fluorimetric method has been developed for the estimation of glycerol in aqueous solution. It utilizes a series of reactions in which glycerol is heated with o-aminophenol in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid and an oxidizing agent, to form 8-hydroxyquinoline which produces fluorescence on chelation with a divalent metal ion in alkaline solution. Experimental details are given for the estimation of serum triglycerides on phospholipid-free serum lipid extracts. The method can also be used for the estimation of phosphatide glycerol.
