Description

General description

2-Octanone is a volatile flavor compound reported to be found in blue cheese, acerola fruit, blue crab and cray fish.

Application

• A novel coupling technique based on thermal desorption gas chromatography with mass spectrometry and ion mobility spectrometry for breath analysis.: This study introduces a new method for analyzing breath by coupling thermal desorption gas chromatography with mass spectrometry and ion mobility spectrometry. The method enhances the detection of volatile organic compounds, including 2-Octanone, which has potential applications in medical diagnostics (Schanzmann et al., 2023).


• A Lifetime of a Dispenser-Release Rates of Olive Fruit Fly-Associated Yeast Volatile Compounds and Their Influence on Olive Fruit Fly (Bactrocera oleae Rossi) Attraction.: The research examines the release rates of volatile compounds, including 2-Octanone, from yeast associated with olive fruit flies. These findings are significant for developing effective pest management strategies in agriculture (Veršić Bratinčević et al., 2023).


• Identification of volatile organic compounds related to the eating quality of cooked japonica rice.: This study identifies volatile organic compounds, including 2-Octanone, that contribute to the eating quality of cooked japonica rice. The findings provide insights for the food industry to enhance rice flavor and quality (Lee et al., 2022).
