Description and Uses

§ 184.1901(a) Triacetin (C8H14O6), also known as 1,2,3-propanetriol triacetate or glyceryl triacetate, is the triester of glycerin and acetic acid. Triacetin can be prepared by heating glycerin with acetic anhydride alone or in the presence of finely divided potassium hydrogen sulfate. It can also be prepared by the reaction of oxygen with a liquid-phase mixture of allyl acetate and acetic acid using a bromide salt as a catalyst.

Triacetin is a colorless, oily liquid of slight fatty odor and bitter taste. It is soluble with water and is miscible with alcohol and ether. It functions in foods as a humectant and solvent.
