General description

1-Octanol is one of the key flavor constituents of mushrooms.

Application

  • Noncontact In Situ Multidiagnostic NMR/Dielectric Spectroscopy: Research highlighted the application of 1-octanol in enhancing spectroscopic analysis techniques, providing noncontact, in situ measurements for complex biological samples (Morais AF, Radhakrishnan S, Arbiv G, et al., 2024) Anal Chem.

  • Development of a dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method for the determination of plastic additives in seawater: Demonstrates the role of 1-octanol in environmental monitoring through the development of a microextraction method for assessing plastic additives in marine environments (González-Castro MJ, Uribe-Ares J, Muniategui-Lorenzo S, et al., 2024) Anal Methods.

  • Application of novel metal organic framework-deep eutectic solvent/molecularly imprinted polymer multiple monolithic fiber for solid phase microextraction of amphetamines and modafinil in unauthorized medicinal supplements with GC-MS: This study utilizes 1-octanol in a novel solid phase microextraction method, highlighting its utility in forensic and pharmaceutical analysis (Kardani F, Khezeli T, Shariati S, et al., 2024) J Pharm Biomed Anal.
