[11] The petition was followed by a letter of support signed by more than 30 prominent ...
The yeast then absorbs the diacetyl, and reduces the ketone groups to form acetoin and 2,3-butanediol. [citation needed] Beer sometimes undergoes a "diacetyl rest", in which its temperature is raised slightly for two or three days after fermentation is complete, to allow the yeast to absorb the diacetyl it produced earlier in the fermentation ...
DES gained notoriety when it was shown to cause a rare vaginal tumor in girls and young women who had been exposed to this drug in utero.In 1971, the New England Journal of Medicine published a report showing that seven of eight girls and young women (ages 14 to 22) who had been diagnosed with vaginal clear cell adenocarcinoma had been exposed prenatally to DES.

Acetylpropionyl has been used as a substitute for the toxic flavoring chemical diacetyl. [4] However, in one flavoring manufacturing facility that substituted diacetyl for acetylpropionyl, abnormal lung function values were associated with total time spent in production areas. [ 4 ]
