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

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
