General description

Amyl alcohol has been identified as one of the main volatile components in Macedonian wines[1] and barley cultivars.[2] It is used as a flavor ingredient in chewing gum, candies and baked goods.[2]

Application


  • Process-specified emission factors and characteristics of VOCs from the auto-repair painting industry.: This article evaluates the emission factors and characteristics of various volatile organic compounds, including amyl alcohol, in auto-repair painting, significant for environmental biochemistry and safety assessments (Xiao et al., 2024).

Time-resolved emission techniques were employed to study the nonradiative process of thioflavin-T (ThT) in 1-propanol, 1-butanol, and 1-pentanol as a function of the hydrostatic pressure. Elevated hydrostatic pressure increases the alcohol viscosity, which in turn strongly influences the nonradiative rate
