Glycerin content can indicate the quality of biodiesel and glycerin can be present as free glycerin or bound glycerin in the form of glycerides. Total glycerin is the sum of free glycerin and bound glycerin. A high content of free and total glycerin can lead to buildup in fuel tanks, clogged fuel systems, injector fouling and valve deposits.

ASTM method D-6751 specifications serves as the benchmark and identifies the standards that pure biodiesel (B100) must meet before being used as fuel or being blended with petroleum diesel. ASTM recommends test method D-6584 for the analysis of glycerin in biodiesel fuel by gas chromatography (GC). ASTM method D-6584 specifies the free and total glycerin content (0.020 max % mass and 0.240 max % mass respectively). The corresponding European biodiesel standard specifies levels of free and total glycerin (0.02 and 0.25 % mass respectively) by method EN 14105. Both ASTM and EN methods utilize gas chromatography.
