General description

1-Octen-3-ol occurs naturally in mushrooms. It is the most prominent odor volatile produced by fungi such as Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium species. 1-Octen-3-ol is also formed in major quantity when soybeans are soaked in water as a pretreatment before soymilk production. It is also a potent mosquito attractant.
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


  • Fluctuation of flavor quality in roasted duck: The consequences of raw duck preform′s repetitive freeze-thawing.: This study explores how repetitive freeze-thaw cycles of raw duck preforms influence the flavor quality of roasted duck, examining specific volatile compounds including 1-Octen-3-ol and its impact on sensory attributes (Gao et al., 2024).

  • A new HS-SPME-GC-MS analytical method to identify and quantify compounds responsible for changes in the volatile profile in five types of meat products during aerobic storage at 4 °C.: This research introduces a novel analytical approach using HS-SPME-GC-MS to track changes in volatile profiles, including the role of 1-Octen-3-ol, across different meat products under specific storage conditions (Acquaticci et al., 2024).

  • Comprehensive investigation on the dynamic changes of volatile metabolites in fresh scent green tea during processing by GC-E-Nose, GC-MS, and GC × GC-TOFMS.: This detailed study assesses how volatile metabolites like 1-Octen-3-ol evolve during the processing of fresh scent green tea, utilizing advanced gas chromatography techniques (Wang et al., 2024).

  • Insights into "wheat aroma": Analysis of volatile components in wheat grains cultivated in saline-alkali soil.: This article examines the ′wheat aroma′ by analyzing volatile components, including 1-Octen-3-ol, in wheat grains grown in challenging saline-alkali soils, highlighting the adaptative traits of these crops (Sun et al., 2024).

  • Demonstrating the Applicability of Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry to Quantify Volatiles Emitted by the Mycoparasitic Fungus Trichoderma atroviride in Real Time: Monitoring of Trichoderma-Based Biopesticides.: This study demonstrates the use of proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry to quantify volatile organic compounds, including 1-Octen-3-ol, emitted in real-time by the fungus Trichoderma atroviride, used in biopesticide applications (Lochmann et al., 2024).
