1,5-Dimethyl Citrate is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of citric acid esters. It is used as a plasticizer in the production of biodegradable polymers. It acts as a plasticizer by reducing the intermolecular forces between the polymer chains. This results in increased flexibility and improved mechanical properties of the polymer. It is also researched as a potential flavoring agent to enhance the taste and aroma of food products.
