Application
- Identification of Volatile Markers during Early Zygosaccharomyces rouxii Contamination in Mature and Immature Jujube Honey.: This study identifies volatile markers, including Methyl hexanoate, associated with early contamination of jujube honey by Zygosaccharomyces rouxii. The findings highlight the potential use of these markers in food quality control and safety applications. (Wang et al., 2023).
- Effect of drainage ratio during strawberry cultivation: The volatilomics-based shelf-life indicators for strawberry fruit.: Research explores the impact of drainage ratio on the shelf-life of strawberries, identifying Methyl hexanoate among key volatile compounds. This work provides valuable insights for improving post-harvest fruit quality. (Cho et al., 2023).
- Evaluation of FAU-type Zeolite Membrane Stability in Transesterification Reaction Conditions.: Investigates the stability of FAU-type zeolite membranes in transesterification reactions, utilizing Methyl hexanoate as a model compound. This research advances the understanding of membrane durability under industrial conditions. (Ikeda et al., 2023).
- The Functional Characterization of Carboxylesterases Involved in the Degradation of Volatile Esters Produced in Strawberry Fruits.: Characterizes the role of carboxylesterases in degrading volatile esters, such as Methyl hexanoate, during strawberry ripening. The study aids in understanding the biochemical processes influencing fruit aroma and quality. (Zhang et al., 2022).

Olfaction in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is increasingly understood, from ligand-receptor-neuron combinations to their axonal projection patterns into the antennal lobe . Drosophila thus offers an excellent opportunity to study the evolutionary and ecological dynamics of olfactory systems. We
