The Global Glycerol Diacetate Market Is Witnessing High Growth Owing To the Increasing Prevalence of Biodiesel Plants in the World
Glycerol diacetate is a colorless, odorless hygroscopic liquid. It can dissolve in water and organic solvents and is used as a diluent in the production of synthetic food colors. It is commonly used as a food additive and in biodiesel plants. Glycerol diacetate is produced through a chemical process that combines glycerol and acetic acid. Its use in food products is not regulated and is safe for all religious groups, including those who practice a vegan lifestyle. It is also used in cosmetics. Glycerol diacetate is widely used in plastics manufacturing processes. It is also used for tanning leather. The process of glycerol esterification over an acid catalyst has been studied by various researchers. They found that a phosphotungstic acid catalyst (SO42-/W12O40/ZrO2) exhibits high selectivity and high yields of DAG.
Major players operating in the global glycerol diacetate market include Yixing Kaixin Chemical Co., Ltd., Yixing Tianyuan Chemical Co., Ltd., Crescent Chemical Co., Inc., Spectrum Laboratory Products Inc., Tennants Fine Chemicals Ltd., and Eastman Chemical Company.
The increasing incidence of biodiesel plants in the world is expected to augment the growth of the global glycerol diacetate market. For instance, according to Targray, there are around 120 biodiesel plants in the European Union. Glycerol diacetate is also a food additive. It is found in various foods, such as chocolate, bread, and cookies. However, glycerol diacetate should not be used in major quantities. Its main purpose is to improve the lubrication of products and help them retain their moisture. Moreover, increasing awareness related to environmental issues is estimated to enhance the growth of the global glycerol diacetate market.
