Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.
Glycerol is a polyol and does not contain acidic protons. Therefore, free glycerol does not directly influence the acid number of a product. The acid number is a measure of the amount of acidic components present in a sample, typically determined by titration with a base. Glycerol's presence would not affect the titration process or the calculated acid number.
