Glycerin content can indicate the quality of biodiesel. Glycerin can be in the form of free glycerin or bound glycerin in the form of glycerides. Total glycerin is the sum of these.  A high content of free and total glycerin can lead to buildup in fuel tanks, clogged fuel systems, injector fouling and valve deposits. Unrelated glycerides and free glycerin make the product behave more like soap rather than fuel.

ASTM Method D6571 specifications serve as the benchmark which identifies the standards that pure biodiesel (B100) must meet before being used as a fuel or blended with petrodiesel. The US National Biodiesel Board has adopted the ASTM biodiesel specification and analytical methodology. ASTM recommends test method D6584 for the analysis of glycerin in biodiesel fuel by gas chromatography.

Gas chromatography can also serve as a tool for process troubleshooting during biodiesel production to ensure trouble-free operation of the fuel in diesel engines. Monitoring the level of free glycerin and any unrelated mono-, di-, and triglycerides will indicate the efficiency and progress of the chemical reaction during the process of making biodiesel.
