Application


  • (14)C-Isotope Use to Quantify Covalent Reactions between Flavor Compounds and β-Lactoglobulin.: This article details a method using C-14 isotopes to track the covalent bonding of Decanal to proteins like β-Lactoglobulin, providing a new approach to understanding flavor compound interactions, essential for food science research (Shepelev and Reineccius, 2024).

One of the phenomena in food-packaging interactions is flavour absorption. Absorption of flavour compounds from food products into food-packaging materials can result in loss of flavour compounds or an unbalance in the flavour profile changing a product's quality. The food

Based on (2)H/(1)H ratio measurements of commercial synthetic and "natural" references, the recently developed on-line gas chromatography pyrolysis isotope ratio mass spectrometry (HRGC-P-IRMS) technique was used to determine the delta(2)H(SMOW) values of the flavor compounds decanal, linalool, and linalyl acetate
