Tributyrin CAS 60-01-5

1. Acts Tributyrin CAS 60-01-5 as a food additive, imparting butter-like flavor and texture to baked goods, confectionery and dairy products.

2. Serves Tributyrin as a substrate in biochemical research for testing the activity of lipase enzymes in laboratory assays.

3. Functions as a plasticizer and lubricant in the production of biodegradable polymers and food-contact materials.

Store tributyrin (CAS 60-01-5, colorless viscous liquid, faint butter-like odor, flash point ~100°C, combustible) in sealed amber glass containers at 15–25°C in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Isolate from strong oxidants and acids to prevent hydrolysis and rancidity. Wear nitrile gloves and safety goggles; avoid inhalation of vapor, skin/eye contact and ingestion to prevent mild irritation. Reseal tightly post-use; dispose of waste per local chemical regulations.

Tributyrin is a food additive, biochemical reagent and industrial plasticizer, not for direct human ingestion in pure form; undiluted intake may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea and diarrhea. In regulated applications, Tributyrin CAS 60-01-5 enhances the sensory quality of food products, supports enzyme activity analysis in biochemistry labs, and enables the manufacturing of eco-friendly plastic materials.
