1. A method for production of acetin, the method comprising:
preparing a transformed microorganism including a gene encoding a first O-acetyl transferase to express the first O-acetyl transferase; and
reacting acetyl-CoA with glycerol in the presence of the first O-acetyl transferase to obtain the acetin,
wherein the first O-acetyl transferase is maltose O-acetyl transferase.
