Triacetin Glycerol Triacetate CAS 102-76-1 | Food Grade Flavor Solvent
Product Overview
Triacetin, also known as Glycerol Triacetate, is a clear, oily liquid widely used as a multi-functional food additive and flavor carrier. It carries a mild, faint fatty odor and mixes well with most flavor monomers. Many flavor houses pick Triacetin to dilute and stabilize concentrated essential oils and aroma compounds.
Unlike many thin solvents, Triacetin delivers stable viscosity and low volatility. It does not easily evaporate during flavor blending, so it locks target aroma profiles for longer shelf life. You can also use it as a humectant and plasticizer in multiple finished formulations.
