Glycerol Diacetate Market, by Application (Food Emulsifier, Plasticizers, Paints & Coatings, Cement Additives, Cigarette, and Others), by End-use Industry (Food & Beverages, Building & Construction, Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Automotive, and Others), and by Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, and Africa) -Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028
In 2018, the China Food Additives & Ingredients Association (CFAA) held two exhibitions to attract thousands of professional visitors and to promote the food additive industry in China. As glycerol diacetate is a major food additive, such exhibitions will promote the growth for the glycerol diacetate market.
In January 2017, a research study published on biofuel research journal discovered a new acetin (Mono, di and triacetins) synthesis process using ethyl acetate as a reactant in glycerol transesterification process and using sulfuric acid, Para-toluene sulfonic acid, and Amberlyst 36 as a catalyst. The research showed that, by using sulfuric acid catalyst, the researchers noted the selectivity of 97% for monoacetin and diacetin chemical compounds. This new technology can be further adapted in the industrial production of acetins.
In August 2015, a study published on natureresearch journal by Irmgard Schäffler, Mark Haid, Kim E. Steiner and other researchers identified glycerol diacetate (diacetin) as a floral signal compound used by oil-collecting bees to locate the flowers. Therefore, the study finds the use of diacetin as a floral signal compound in the agriculture and floriculture industry. This will indeed, drive up the demand for glycerol diacetate market.
