Tributyrin Usage And Synthesis
Description
Tributyrin (C15H26O6), also known as butyrin or glyceryl tributyrate, is the triester of glycerin and butyric acid. It is prepared by esterifcation of glycerin with excess butyric acid. Glycerol tributyrate has a characteristic odor and a bitter taste.
Chemical Properties
Tributyrin is a colorless, oily liquid with a bitter taste. It is soluble in alcohol and ether and fairly insoluble in water.
Uses
Tributyrin is a flavoring agent that is the triester of glycerin and butyric acid. it is prepared by esterification of glycerin with excess butyric acid. it is used in the following foods: baked goods; alcoholic beverages; nonalcoholic beverages; fats and oils; frozen dairy des- serts and mixes; gelatins, puddings and fillings; and soft candy. it is also termed butyrin and glyceryl tributyrate.
Preparation
Prepared by esterifcation of glycerol with excess butyric acid.
Production Methods
Tributyrin is manufactured via esterification of glycerol with butyric acid.
Definition
ChEBI: A triglyceride obtained by formal acylation of the three hydroxy groups of glycerol by butyric acid.
Taste threshold values
Taste characteristics at 30 ppm: bitter, waxy, fatty, cheese and butter nuances.
General Description
Tributyrin is a short-chain triacylglycerol that mainly occurs in butter. It shows potent anti-cancer property.
Safety Profile
Poison by intravenous route. Low toxicity by ingestion. Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data. Combustible liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
Carcinogenicity
Administration of sodium butyrate in drinking water potentiates 1,2-dimethylhydrazine- induced colon cancer in rats . In mice, dietary administration of 5% tributyrin for 48 weeks did not lead to an increase in colonic tumor incidence or focal areas of dysplasia as compared to controls . Therefore, it has been suggested that the agent responsible for enhanced tumorigenesis in the rat study was sodium, rather than butyrate.
