Application

Heptadecane was used as an internal standard in the reaction to study the first direct comparison of kava lactone extraction efficiencies. It was also used as the appropriate suspended solvent for the extraction and concentration of EO (essential oil).

Subcritical water extraction of lactones from a kava (Piper metlhysticum) root was compared to a Soxhlet extraction with water, to boiling in water, and to a sonication in acetone. For ground kava (250-500 microm), 2 h of subcritical water extraction

A rapid, green and effective miniaturized sample preparation and analytical technique, i.e. ionic liquids-assisted microwave distillation coupled with headspace single-drop microextraction (ILAMD-HS-SDME) followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed for the analysis of essential oil (EO) in Fructus forsythiae.

Herbivory insects can discriminate the quality of a host plant for food or oviposition, by detecting the volatile organic compounds (VOC's) released by the plant, however, damaged plants may release a different VOC's profile modifying the insects' response. We tested

The influence of different states of oxygen supply on heptadecane mineralization has been investigated in resting cell suspensions of Pseudomonas nautica. The rate of heptadecane biodegraded was constant for oxygen concentrations between 21% and 10% (v/v) (about 100% and 50%

A new population-based incremental learning algorithm for conformational searching of molecules is presented. This algorithm is particularly effective at determining, by relatively small number of energy minimizations, global energy minima of large flexible molecules. The algorithm is also able to
