Description

Diacetin is a colorless, viscous liquid that is used as an additive in foods. It is also used in the production of polyesters and paints. Diacetin has been investigated for its potential to maximize the absorption of water by biomolecules. The high-throughput screening techniques that have been developed for this purpose include investigating the effects of diacetin on the solubility and permeability of biomolecules in water, as well as on their stability. These are important steps in maximizing the absorption of water by biomolecules.
