Application


  • Oil produced from Ghana Shea Nut crop for prospective industrial applications.: This study investigates the potential industrial uses of shea nut oil, focusing on its extraction and purification processes, which heavily utilize hexane as a solvent. The research emphasizes the application in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, reflecting the industrial versatility of hexane in extracting valuable natural products (Alale et al., 2024).

  • Bio-guided isolation of a new sesquiterpene from Artemisia cina with anthelmintic activity against Haemonchus contortus L3 infective larvae.: Demonstrates the use of hexane in the bio-guided isolation of bioactive compounds. This research provides a blueprint for natural product extraction methodologies in parasitology and pharmacognosy (Arango-De la Pava et al., 2024).

  • Enhancing the selectivity for light olefins through catalytic cracking of n-hexane by phosphorus doping on lanthanum-modified ZSM-5.: This study explores the catalytic roles of hexane in refining processes, particularly in enhancing the selectivity of light olefins, which are crucial in the petrochemical industry (Ali et al., 2024).

Matti Marklund et al.
Circulation, 132(7), 586-594 (2015-06-19)
High intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. Large, prospective studies including both sexes and circulating PUFAs as dietary biomarkers are needed. We investigated sex-specific associations of the major dietary PUFAs

Nature communications, 5, 5529-5529 (2014-11-21)
Increasing evidence suggests small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) such as microRNAs (miRNAs) control levels of mRNA expression during experience-related remodelling of the brain. Here we use an associative olfactory learning paradigm in the honeybee Apis mellifera to examine gene expression changes
