Wilbur Johnson et al.
International journal of toxicology, 30(6 Suppl), 228S-269S (2012-01-25)
Pelargonic acid and its esters function as skin-conditioning agents in cosmetics. Molecular weight (mw) and octanol-water partition coefficient data suggest that dermal penetration is possible. The biohandling of branched-chain fatty acids is not the same as for straight-chain fatty acids

Contact dermatitis, 49(3), 117-123 (2003-12-18)
Irritant contact dermatitis is defined as a non-immunological skin reaction following exposure to various chemical, mechanical and physical factors. It is known that the skin response to irritants depends on the irritant applied and differs between chemically different irritants. Sodium

To determine the odor-active compounds in Cheddar cheeses with different ripening times (6, 10, and 14 mo), 39 potent odorants of Cheddar cheeses were identified with a flavor dilution factor range between 1 and 512 by aroma extract dilution analysis.

Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 68(6), 1666-1677 (2020-01-21)
A potent unpleasant aroma presenting a pickle-like off-odor in Moutai-aroma type Baijiu was studied by comparative aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). Two Moutai-aroma type Baijiu samples, one having no off-odor (A) and the other one presenting pickle-like off-odor (B), were

The sea-surface microlayer (SML) has different physical, chemical and biological properties compared to the subsurface water, with an enrichment of organic matter i.e., dissolved organic matter including UV absorbing humic substances, fatty acids and many others. Here we present experimental
