General description

Natural occurrence: Blue cheese, butter, cheddar cheese, coconut, fish, krill, oil of rue.
We are committed to bringing you greener alternative products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product is Biobased and thus aligns with "Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses" and "Use of Renewable Feedstocks".

Application


  • Antifungal activity of bio-active cell-free culture extracts and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) synthesised by endophytic fungal isolates of Garden Nasturtium.: This research highlights the antifungal properties of 2-Nonanone, demonstrating its potential in biological control and offering an alternative to chemical pesticides in agricultural practices (Santra et al., 2024).

Janina Kühn et al.
Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 55(9), 3599-3604 (2007-04-07)
Interactions of the model flavor compound 2-nonanone with individual milk proteins, whey protein isolate (WPI), and sodium caseinate in aqueous solutions were investigated. A method to quantify the free 2-nonanone was developed using headspace solid-phase microextraction followed by gas chromatography

Volatile concentrates were obtained by vacuum distillation from both natural and creamy Gorgonzola cheese and isolated by continuous liquid-liquid extraction. Both were analysed by high resolution gas chromatography (HRGC), HRGC-mass spectrometry and HRGC-olfactometry. A total of 63 components were identified
