General description

EMPLURA® is our low-cost alternative to high-purity qualities. With EMPLURA we offer a range of solvents for a plurality of basic applications in non-regulated industries and for less demanding applications, preparative laboratory work and cleaning purposes. EMPLURA solvents provide adequate specifications with the most important parameters.

Application


  • Characterization of Volatile Compounds: This study utilizes 1-Octanol in the analysis of volatile compounds in Valencia orange juice. It highlights its use in the food industry, particularly in quality control and assurance, which is essential for researchers and professionals in the food science sector (Han et al., 2024).

  • Noncontact In Situ Multidiagnostic NMR/Dielectric Spectroscopy: The study discusses the application of 1-Octanol in developing noncontact diagnostic techniques, beneficial for chemists and material scientists involved in analytical and diagnostic methodologies (Morais et al., 2024).

  • Extraction of Bisphenols from Beverages: Highlighting its use in food safety and environmental testing, this study employs 1-Octanol based frameworks for detecting contaminants in consumer products, essential for ensuring public health and safety in the food industry (Cheng et al., 2024).
