Abstract
The average carbon isotope value (delta(13)C) of 63 samples of glycero l from over 30 different sources has been determined. The results indi cate that it is possible to distinguish the glycerol obtained from the glycerides produced in plants following C-3 and C-4 carbon fixation p athways. The samples obtained from animal sources seem to reflect the composition of the material consumed, as well as that produced by suga r fermentation.
