Usage

General Description

ALLYL LAURATE is a chemical compound that is used primarily as a flavoring agent in food products and as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetic and personal care products. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a fruity, pineapple-like odor. This chemical is a member of the ester family and is derived from the reaction of lauric acid and allyl alcohol. It is commonly used to add a sweet, creamy, and tropical flavor to various food products, such as baked goods, beverages, and dairy products. In the cosmetic industry, ALLYL LAURATE is used to add a pleasant, fruity scent to perfumes, lotions, and toiletries. Its safety for use in these applications has been evaluated and approved by regulatory agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Direct determination of glycidyl esters of fatty acids in vegetable Oils by LC-MS

An LC-MS method using a single quadrupole mass spectrometer was developed for direct analysis of glycidyl esters of fatty acids in vegetable oils. Without any sample clean-up, this method provided acceptable recovery of seven glycidyl esters, comparable results to a previously-published method utilizing two solid-phase extraction steps, and consistent detection parameters after greater than 200 injections without any cleaning operations performed. This method could readily be implemented as a screening assay for glycidyl esters in most oil laboratories.

Mild esterification and transesterification of carboxylic acids catalyzed by tetracyanoethylene and dicyanoketene dimethyl acetal

A π-acid tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) and its derivative dicyanoketene dimethyl acetal (DCKDMA) were found to catalyze esterification of lauric acid with various types of alcohols. This method was successfully applied to methyl esterification of a variety of carboxylic acids including aromatic, α,β-unsaturated, α-hydroxy, and N-Cbz and N-Boc-protected α-amino acids without racemization at the range from room temperature to 60 °C. TCNE was also found to operate as a catalyst in transeslerification reaction of methyl laurate.
