Usage

Uses

Butyl decanoate poses no health hazard and is biodegradable. Hence it is used to substitute hazardous compounds used in tissue processing and dewaxing, along with other compounds without impairing the morphology, staining characteristics, or diagnostic value of the tissue sections. It was used as an internal standard in the calculation of acid concentrations in the whole egg samples.

General Description

Butyl decanoate is a colorless liquid. The IR spectra of butyl decanoate was measured in various solvents.

Development and Validation of a Novel Free Fatty Acid Butyl Ester Gas Chromatography Method for the Determination of Free Fatty Acids in Dairy Products

Accurate quantification of free fatty acids in dairy products is important for both product quality control and legislative purposes. In this study, a novel fatty acid butyl ester method was developed, where extracted free fatty acids are converted to butyl esters prior to gas chromatography with flame ionization detection. The method was comprehensively validated to establish linearity (20-700 mg/L; R2 > 0.9964), limits of detection (5-8 mg/L), limits of quantification (15-20 mg/L), accuracy (1.6-5.4% relative error), interday precision (4.4-5.3% relative standard deviation), and intraday precision (0.9-5.6% relative standard deviation) for each individual free fatty acid. A total of 17 dairy samples were analyzed, covering diverse sample matrices, fat content, and degrees of lipolysis. The method was compared to direct on-column injection and fatty acid methyl ester methods and overcomes limitations associated with these methods, such as either column-phase absorption or deterioration, accurate quantification of short-chain free fatty acids, and underestimation of polyunsaturated free fatty acid.

Synthesis of carboxylic acid esters in the presence of micro- and mesoporous aluminosilicates

The catalytic properties of zeolites HY, HBeta, and HZSM-12 and of mesoporous amorphous aluminosilicate in liquid-phase esterification of aliphatic (monobasic C1-C18, dibasic C6, C10) and aromatic (benzoic, trimellitic, phthalic) carboxylic acids with butanol were studied. Zeolite HBeta appeared to be the most active catalyst. Procedures were developed for preparing esters in the presence of zeolitic catalyst HBeta, ensuring 100% selectivity of ester formation at 90-98% conversion of the acid.
