General description

We are committed to bringing you greener alternative products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product is Biobased and thus aligns with "Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses" and "Use of Renewable Feedstocks".

Application


  • Differentiation of action mechanisms between natural and synthetic repellents through neuronal electroantennogram and proteomic in Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae).: This study investigates the different mechanisms of action between natural and synthetic repellents, including Geranyl acetate, using neuronal electroantennogram and proteomic analysis in Aedes aegypti. It provides insights into the biochemical pathways affected by these repellents (Portilla Pulido et al., 2022).

  • Hydrodistillation-headspace solvent microextraction, a new method for analysis of the essential oil components of Lavandula angustifolia Mill.: This paper introduces a novel method combining hydrodistillation and headspace solvent microextraction for analyzing essential oil components, including Geranyl acetate, in Lavandula angustifolia. It enhances the efficiency and accuracy of essential oil analysis (Fakhari et al., 2005).

Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) coupled with Mass Spectrometry (MS) is one of today's most powerful analytical platforms for detailed analysis of medium-to-high complexity samples. The column set usually consists of a long, conventional-inner-diameter first dimension ((1)D) (typically 15-30m long

Laboratory and field studies showed that repellent, irritant and toxic actions of common public health insecticides reduce human-vector contact and thereby interrupt disease transmission. One of the more effective strategies to reduce disease risk involves the use of long-lasting treated
