General description

Ethyl trans-2-butenoate is a volatile flavor compound found in fruits such as cashew apple, African star apple, naranjilla fruit and sweet passion fruit.

Application


  • Comparison of the Fruit Volatile Profiles of Five Muscadine Grape Cultivars (Vitis rotundifolia Michx.) Using HS-SPME-GC/MS Combined With Multivariate Statistical Analysis.: This study details the analysis of volatile profiles in different Muscadine grape cultivars, providing insight into their chemical compositions during various stages of fruit development, which could be crucial for enhancing flavor and aroma in food products (Deng et al., 2021).

  • Effects of methanogenic inhibitors on methane production and abundances of methanogens and cellulolytic bacteria in in vitro ruminal cultures.: This study explores the reduction of methane emissions through the use of inhibitors, contributing to more sustainable agricultural practices and environmental conservation (Zhou et al., 2011).
