Glycidol, also known as glycidol, is used as a stabilizer for natural oils and vinyl polymers, demulsifiers, dye layering agents, for surface coatings, chemical synthesis, bactericides, etc. Some oils and fats are hydrolyzed in the human gastrointestinal tract after being refined and processed at high temperature, and eventually glycidol is formed.
