Description
Constituent of ion-exchange resins for use in food processing, e.g. in the production of grapefruit juice Diethylenetriamine (DETA) is a colourless hygroscopic liquid, soluble in water and hydrocarbons. Diethylenetriamine is an analogue of diethylene glycol. It has similar chemical behavior as ethylene diamine and has similar uses. It is a weak base and its aqueous solution is alkaline. It is used in oil industry, as a solvent for sulfur and extraction of acid gas. Diethylenetriamine has been shown to exhibit diuretic function (1). Diethylenetriamine belongs to the family of Polyamines. These are compounds containing more than one amine group.
