حلال
Kawn ad-Din
الْحَلَالُ بَيِّنٌ وَالْحَرَامُ بَيِّنٌ، وَبَيْنَهُمَا مُشَبَّهَاتٌ لَا يَعْلَمُهَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَمَنِ اتَّقَى الْمُشَبَّهَاتِ اسْتَبْرَأَ لِدِينِهِ وَعِرْضِهِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters that many people do not know. Whoever guards against the doubtful matters protects his religion and his honor.”

al-Bukhari, 52

E1518 Glyceryl triacetate — is it halal?

Ruling: Mashbuh (doubtful)

Description

A humectant, carrier and solvent: triacetin, the triester of glycerol and acetic acid. Allowed in the EU (chewing gum, carrier in flavourings and nutrients), the US (GRAS), the EAEU and Codex; in China — only as a synthetic food flavouring and flavour carrier. The instruments do not name the glycerol origin. Patents on triacetin (a fuel-additive WO and a general Chinese CN that lists food additives among uses)

Basis of the ruling

Glyceryl triacetate (triacetin) is a triester of glycerin and acetic acid: it is made from glycerin and acetic anhydride or acid. The standards do not name the origin of the glycerin; in a Celanese patent "natural" glycerin comes from animal and vegetable fats.
