Morphology

deglycerolize = glycerolize (transparent) = de + glycerol + ize

The meaning is a standard reversive or removal use of 'de-' applied to 'glycerolize', yielding 'remove glycerol from'.

Etymology

Deglycerolize breaks into de- meaning 'remove' and glycerol, the chemical often called glycerin that is used to protect cells and stored samples. So, to deglycerolize something is to take that glycerol out, for example to make stored blood safe to use.
