General description

1-Propanol is a volatile compound with a characteristic flavor, commonly found in alcoholic and fruit beverages.
This substance is listed on the positive list of the EU regulation 10/2011 for plastics intended to come into contact with food. Find all available reference materials for compounds listed in 10/2011 here

Application

The analytical standard can also be used as follows:

  • Determination of acetaldehyde, methanol, and higher alcohols in different liquor samples by headspace gas chromatography (HS-GC) method coupled with flame ionization detector (FID)
  • Identification of major odorants in chixiang aroma-type liquor using gas chromatography-olfactometry and further determination of the alcoholic odorants by GC-FID
  • Analysis of 56 illegal alcohol samples to detect the presence of methanol and its derivatives gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
  • Detection and quantification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in 75 liquor samples by gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
  • Qualitative and quantitative analysis of 10 volatile organic compounds from different chemical classes in potable whey-based spirits during different stages of distillation
