Triacetin or glyceryl triacetate is an artificial compound with multiple applications.


Chemistry
Triacetin is a triester of glycerol and acetic acid. It is the smallest of the triglycerides (acylglycerol) after glyceryl triformate, however it is artificial. This triglyceride is obtained by esterification of natural glycerin or from petrochemicals with acetic anhydride.

Its chemical formula is C9H14O6 and its molar mass is 218.21 g / mol6.

Triacetin is a colorless liquid with an oily consistency with a faint oily, ethereal and fruity odor6.

Uses
Food

triacetin is used as a food additive for its humectant property under the number E15187.

Like propylene glycol and ethanol, it is used in food flavorings as a solvent and excipient (fema-GRAS number 20076). Its last evaluation by JECFA dates from 2002 (Session 59).

Fuel
Triacetin is also used as a fuel adjuvant to reduce knocking and improve the cold resistance and viscosity of biodiesels.

Medicines
Triacetin is an excipient used as a plasticizer in polymer blends used for the film coating of tablets8.

Triacetin has antimycotic activity5. This activity seems to be linked to the gradual release of acetic acid by hydrolysis of triacetin9 by the esterases of the microscopic fungi responsible for mycoses. Triacetin was marketed from 1956 under the trade name of Fungacetin, in the form of an aerosol, a cream or a powder to be applied to the skin10.

Other
Triacetin is also an additive used in processed tobacco for cigarettes, fine cut tobacco, pipe tobacco, snuff, chewing tobacco and cigars11.

In the late 1960s, triacetin was considered a possible source of long-term dietary energy for space missions12, after being tested on rats13.

Triacetin, also known as glyceryl triacetate, is reported to function as a biocide, plasticizer, and cosmetic solvent in cosmetic formulations, at concentrations ranging from 0.8% to 4.0%. It is a commonly used medium for aromas and fragrances. Triacetin has been recognized as a generally recognized safe human food ingredient (GRAS) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Triacetin was not toxic to animals during acute oral or dermal exposures, in short-term inhalation or parenteral studies, or in subchronic feeding and inhalation studies. The triacetin was, at most, slightly irritating to the skin guinea pig. However, in one study, it caused erythema, slight edema, alopecia and scaling, and caused some irritation in rabbit eyes. Triacetin was not sensitizing in guinea pigs. Triacetin was not an irritant or sensitizer in a clinical maximization study, and only very mild reactions were seen in a Duhring chamber test using 50% dilution. In humans, triacetin is believed to have caused eye irritation but no injury. Triacetin was not mutagenic. Although there are no data available on reproductive and developmental toxicity, triacetin was rapidly metabolized to glycerol and acetic acid and these chemicals were not developmental toxins. Reports of 1,2-glyceryl diesters, which may be present in triacetin, affecting cell growth and proliferation have raised the possibility of hyperplasia and / or tumor promotion. The Cosmetic Ingredients Review (CIR) expert group, however, concluded that the effects of 1,2-glyceryl diesters on cell growth and proliferation require longer ester chains on the glycerin backbone. than those present when acetic acid is esterified with glycerin, as in triacetin. . Based on the information available, the CIR expert group concluded that triacetin is safe when used in cosmetic formulations. 1,2,3-Triacetoxypropane triglyceride is more generally known as triacetin and glycerin triacetate. It is the triester of glycerol and acetylating agents, such as acetic acid and acetic anhydride. [6] It is a colorless, viscous, odorless liquid with a high boiling point. Triacetin (C9H14O6), also known as glyceryl triacetate, is a pharmaceutical excipient used in the manufacture of capsules and tablets , and has been used as a humectant, plasticizer and solvent. It is a liquid, and has been approved by the FDA as a food additive. Triacetin is a water soluble short chain triglyceride that may also act as a parenteral nutrient according to animal studies. [1] [2] It is also used in the perfume and cosmetic industries. Triacetin is a transparent, colorless acetate ester used to plasticize synthetic rubber and cellulose derivatives. Triacetin is easily soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons and most organic solvents. It is insoluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons, mineral oils, and vegetable and animal oils. It has low solubility in water. Triacetin, also known as enzactin or E1518, belongs to the class of organic compounds called triacylglycerols. They are glycerides made up of three chains of fatty acids covalently linked to a glycerol molecule by ester bonds. Thus, triacetin is considered a lipid molecule of triradylglycerol. Triacetin exists as a liquid, soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic compound (mostly neutral) (based on its pKa). Triacetin has been found in human adipose tissue and has also been mainly detected in blood. Within the cell, triacetin is mainly localized in the cytoplasm and adiposome. Triacetin can be biosynthesized from acetic acid. Triacetin is a sweet, bitter, and clean tasting compound that can be found in fruits and papaya. This makes triacetin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.

 

 

Uses

It is an artificial chemical compound, commonly used as a food additive, for example as a solvent in flavors, and for its moisturizing function, with the number E E1518 and the Australian approval code A1518. It is used as an excipient in pharmaceuticals, where it is used as a humectant, plasticizer and as a solvent. Triacetin can also be used as a fuel additive as an anti-knock agent that can reduce engine knock in gasoline and improve the cold and viscosity properties of biodiesel. In a 1994 report published by five major cigarette companies , triacetin was among the 599 additives for cigarettes. Triacetin is applied to the filter as a plasticizer and has been seen as a possible source of food energy in artificial food regeneration systems during long space missions. It is believed to be safe to get more than half of the dietary energy of triacetin.

 

Triacetin and two types of acetooleins have been shown to have no  toxic effects in long-term rat feeding tests at levels several orders of magnitude higher than those to which consumers are exposed. Three types of acetostearins were found to have no toxic effects in long-term feeding tests in rats at levels up to 5g per kg per day. This contrasts with human consumption estimated at a fraction of a milligram per kg per day. Triacetin ibc is recognized that at an even higher feed level (10g per kg per day), male rats developed testicular atrophy and female rats developed uterine discoloration. However, such a level which would amount to 50 g or more for an infant and 600 g for an adult per day, is considerably higher than what would be possible in the consumption of foods to which acetostearins are added for functional purposes.
