Description

General description

Triethylamine belongs to a broad range of flavor and fragrance standards used for the quality control of food and cosmetic products. Triethylamine, an intense environmental pollutant, belonging to the class of biogenic amines,[1] is produced in the process of metabolism by animal organs or proteins.[2] It is commonly identified in the food processing industry,[3] polymerization reactions including urethane and epoxy resin systems, in the desalination of seawater, as corrosion inhibitors and solvents, hair-curing products, etc.[2]

Application

Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

Triethylamine may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in:

• Food and beverages using ion-exchange chromatography with conductivity detection.[1]
• Smoke flavoring from rice husk using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometric detection, flame ionization detection and olfactometry analysis (GC-O).[4]
