Application


  • Identification of in vivo metabolites of Citri Sarcodactylis Fructus by UHPLC-Q/Orbitrap HRMS.: This study used advanced chromatographic techniques to identify and analyze metabolites, demonstrating the application of formic acid in enhancing detection sensitivity and accuracy in analytical chemistry (Deng et al., 2023).

  • Phosphorus recovery from aqueous product of hydrothermal carbonization of cow manure.: Research explored the recovery of phosphorus from hydrothermally carbonized cow manure, where formic acid played a crucial role in the chemical analysis and enhancement of recovery processes (Qaramaleki et al., 2023).

  • Identification and quality evaluation of Chinese rice wine using UPLC-PDA-QTOF/MS with dual-column separation.: Demonstrates formic acid′s role in optimizing the chromatographic profiles of complex organic compounds in beverages, thereby aiding in their quality assessment and standardization (Xiang et al., 2023).
