In addition to direct material safety, the handling of acetone also warrants attention due to its flammability and potential health hazards. Acetone is classified as a highly flammable substance, and precautions must be taken to prevent accidental ignition when working in areas where ignition sources may be present. Adequate ventilation is essential since inhalation of acetone vapors can lead to irritation of the respiratory tract, headaches, and dizziness. Wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, can help mitigate health risks during handling.

E477 is derived from glycerol, a naturally occurring compound found in fats and oils. It is produced through the process of esterification, where glycerol reacts with fatty acids. This process creates a versatile compound that can interact with both hydrophilic (water-loving) and hydrophobic (fat-loving) substances, allowing it to effectively stabilize emulsions. The unique properties of E477 enable it to function as an emulsifier, thickener, and stabilizer in various formulations.
