EPA chemical substance information | information provided by: ofmpeb.epa.gov (external link) |
physical and chemical properties | a short-chain fatty acid ester consisting of three molecules of butyric acid and one molecule of glycerol, because of its insoluble in water, soluble in ethyl ether and ethanol and other organic solvents, and low melting point and high boiling point of physical properties (melting point:-75 ℃, Boiling Point: 305~310 ℃), therefore, under the conditions of high temperature, light and granulation, its physical and chemical properties are basically unchanged, which is suitable for the production process of various types of feed processing. |
Use | glycerol tributyl Ester is lipidated from one molecule of glycerol and three-molecule butyric acid through a three-step chemical reaction procedure. Glycerol tributyl esters are naturally found in animal fats, vegetable oils, dairy products, etc., and are mainly used in the processing of margarines and as feed additives. In the biological science and technology as screening, characterization of esterase substrate. spices. Mainly used in the preparation of cream, margarine and other spices, also used as solvent spices. artificial food flavor. used as substrate for determination of esterase and lipase. |
feed additive | glycerol tributyl Ester is a short-chain fatty acid ester consisting of 4 carbon atoms, which is a colorless and nearly oily liquid, slightly fat flavor, can smoothly through the gastrointestinal tract, and is slowly decomposed into butyric acid, and then reach the back end of the intestinal tract, play the corresponding physiological effects. Studies have reported that glycerol tributyl ester can promote the growth of intestinal villi, enhance the digestion of nutrients, maintain the balance of intestinal flora, enhance tight junction, promote mucin secretion and improve immunity, in order to improve the production performance of animals. Therefore, the addition of glycerol tributyl Ester in feed has become a nutritional strategy to improve the intestinal barrier function of animals and promote the growth of animals, and has been widely used in the process of animal husbandry. |
assay | was determined by method one in the ester assay (OT-18). The amount of the sample was 1.5g. The equivalence factor (e) in the calculation is taken as 50.40. Or according to Gas chromatography (GT-10-4) using non-polar column method. |
toxicity | GRAS(FEMA). Ld503200 mg/kg (rat, oral). |
usage limit | FEMA(mg/kg): Soft drink 0.10; Cold drink 0.04; Candy 0.33~1000; baked goods 290; Pudding 0.36; Margarine 2.0~5.0. |
production method | is obtained by heating esterification of glycerol and excess butyric acid. |
