First let’s talk about what diacetyl is and why it is of interest to anyone. Diacetyl (fyi, I pronounce it as di-ah-SEE-till, but there are other ways to say it) and it’s relatives, such as acetyl propionyl, belong to the family that chemists call alpha-diketones. These compounds have the characteristic of imparting a buttery sensation to foods. They are used in a wide variety of products such as baked goods (cakes and cookies), confections (candy and chocolates), and snacks (potato or corn chips).
