General description

3-Octanol is one of the major volatile flavor components of mushroom.
Natural occurrence: Spearmint oil, oat groats, Ocimum basilicum, pimento leaf and truffle.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one of the four categories of Greener Alternatives . This product is a Biobased products, showing key improvements in Green Chemistry Principles “Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses” and “Use of Renewable Feedstock”.

Application

  • Impact of aroma-enhancing microorganisms on aroma attributes of industrial Douchi: An integrated analysis using E-nose, GC-IMS, GC-MS, and descriptive sensory evaluation.: This study explores the enhancement of aroma attributes in Douchi through the use of aroma-enhancing microorganisms. It highlights the role of 3-Octanol in modifying flavor profiles, which could lead to improved food processing techniques (Li et al., 2024).

  • Nematicidal Activity of Phytochemicals against the Root-Lesion Nematode Pratylenchus penetrans.: Investigates the potential use of 3-Octanol as a natural nematicide. This research highlights its effectiveness in controlling agricultural pests, offering a safer alternative to synthetic pesticides (Barbosa et al., 2024).
