Diacetin is used widely as a food additive to solve the flavorings.
Diacetin is used, either on its own or in conjunction with triacetin or other esters/additives, as a curing agent for Sodium silicate or phenol-formaldehyde resins systems and as hydrolyzable acidulant in the dyeing of polyester and other fabrics with acid dyestuffs.
Glyceryl diacetate, with the E number E1517, is a food additive. This diglyceride is more generally known as diacetin.
Diacetin is the diester of glycerol and acetylating agents, such as acetic acid and acetic anhydride.
Glycerol diacetate (Diacetin) is typically a mixture of two isomers, 1,2-glyceryl diacetate and 1,3-glyceryl diacetate.
