General description

Butylamine has been identified as one of the volatile flavor constituents in black fermented garlic wine, fermented egg and fish protein concentrate (FPC).

Application


  • Characteristics of Purified Horse Oil by Supercritical Fluid Extraction with Different Deodorants Agents.: This study explores the purification of horse oil using supercritical fluid extraction, focusing on the effectiveness of various deodorant agents including butylamine. The research demonstrates the potential of butylamine in enhancing the quality and usability of horse oil in food and pharmaceutical applications (Anneke et al., 2024).

  • A divergent one-pot thiol-Michael strategy to create β-thiophene-fused porphyrins.: This paper presents a novel one-pot thiol-Michael addition strategy to synthesize β-thiophene-fused porphyrins. The use of butylamine in the reaction demonstrates its utility in organic synthesis and potential applications in developing new materials for electronic and photonic devices (Singh et al., 2024).

  • Strain engineering improves the photovoltaic performance of carbon-based hole-transport-material free CsPbIBr(2) perovskite solar cells.: This study enhances the performance of perovskite solar cells through strain engineering. Butylamine is utilized in the process, showcasing its application in improving the efficiency of renewable energy technologies (He et al., 2024).
