Food Grade Tributyrin CAS 60-01-5 Glyceryl Tributyrate 99% Purity Butyric Acid Triglyceride Supplement
Product Introduction
Tributyrin (CAS 60-01-5), also known as glyceryl tributyrate, is a food grade butyric acid triglyceride produced from natural butyric acid and glycerol. As a stable and odor-masked precursor of butyric acid, it delivers the benefits of short-chain fatty acids without the unpleasant smell, making it a preferred raw material in nutritional supplements, functional foods and feed applications. Our Tributyrin is manufactured under strict food safety standards with an assay of >= 99%, ensuring consistent quality batch after batch.

Manufacturing Process
Our Tributyrin is produced through a controlled esterification process in which high-purity butyric acid reacts with food grade glycerol under vacuum and elevated temperature. The crude product is then purified through neutralization, washing and molecular distillation to reach >= 99% assay. Every batch is tested in our laboratory for assay, acid value, water content, heavy metals and microbial limits before release, and full COA documentation is provided with each shipment.
