Triacetine is a colorless, oily liquid with a slight fatty odor. It is used as a food additive, solvent, and excipient in pharmaceuticals where it acts as a humectant and plasticizer. It is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The assay method involves heating a sample with potassium hydroxide and isopropanol to saponify the acetate groups, followed by titration with sulfuric acid to determine the amount of glycerol present.
