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., S
