Physical properties
Mildly fruity-ethereal-acetic odor,
Aqueous solutions of less than 20 ppm are
virtually tasteless, while a mildly sour-wineyfruity taste is perceptible at higher levels, and
a more bitter taste appears at levels beyond
1000 ppm.
Uses
propane-1,2-diol, monoacetate is sometimes used in flavor compositions as an auxiliary solvent and diluent
for flavor materials or for the entire composition. It has some tendency of hydrolyzing,
producing a more acetic note, while overall,
it is more stable than the Di-acetate in this
respect.
