Triacetin is glycerol triacetate - an ester made from acetic acid (vinegar) and glycerin. So they are similar in that glycerin is used to make triacetin.
Triacetin is used in foods as a humectant - it keeps them moist. Glycerin does the same, however it is also slightly sweeter.
Triacetin ( 1,2,3-triacetoxypropane or 1,2,3-Propanetriol triacetate or glycerin triacetate) is a food additive and an antifungal agent. It has many other uses, among them as an antiknock agent in fuel, a viscosity improver in biodiesel, a solvent in flavorings. It can be found in some tablet medicines as well.

The brand name for hypromellose-glycerin-peg 400 ophthalmic drops is usually known as Systane Ultra or a similar variation of it.
Glycerin is used for preparing microscope slides because it is a clear, viscous liquid that helps preserve the specimen's moisture and prevents it from drying out. It also has a refractive index similar to that of biological tissues, which enhances the clarity and visibility of the specimen under the microscope. Additionally, glycerin can help reduce the distortion of specimens, making it easier to observe fine details.
no,because glycerin is dense than water
It is! You just have to heat the glycerin!
Triacetin, or E1518, is made of glycerin and acetic acid (vinegar). Glycerin can be obtained from beef tallow but usually comes from oil-producing plants.
Triacetin, or E1518, does not contain dairy. It is made of glycerin and acetic acid (vinegar). Glycerin can be obtained from beef tallow but usually comes from oil-producing plants.
The pH of triacetin is typically between 6-7, making it slightly acidic. However, pure triacetin itself does not have a defined pH as it is a neutral compound.

Between 1.154 and 1.158 grams per centimeter cubed.
Ingesting large amounts of triacetin may cause gastrointestinal irritation, but it is generally considered to be low in toxicity. To dispose of triacetin, follow local regulations for chemical waste disposal. Usually, it can be diluted with water and then disposed of in the regular trash or taken to a hazardous waste facility.

Glycerin
glycerin
That is the correct spelling of glycerin.
It is possible for glycerin to be encapsulated. The most common form of encapsulated glycerin is Vegetable glycerin. Capsules may be sold at a pharmacy, such as Walgreens or CVS.
No, water will float on top of glycerin because water is less dense than glycerin.
