In this paper we report on experimental data for the frequency and temperature dependence of the thermal properties of supercooled glycerol and propylene glycol. By using a photopyroelectric method the specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity were separately determined in a bandwidth of several decades. We have recently shown that the thermal conductivity has no relaxation behavior, which simplifies the analysis of our results. The relaxation behavior of the specific heat capacity is compared with literature results for other physical quantities and a detailed analysis of the temperature dependence of the relaxation parameters is presented.
