Description

Application

Furfuryl alcohol has been used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of furfuryl alcohol in:

• Transformer or rectifier oils by solid-phase extraction (SPE), liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with variable ultraviolet (UV) detector.[1]

It may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of furfuryl alcohol in:

• Coffee samples by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography (GC) coupled to flame ionization detector (FID) as well as mass spectrometry (MS).[2]
• Jukro tea samples by simultaneous distillation-solvent extraction (SDE) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).[3]
• Electronic-cigarette refill solutions by GC coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) operating on electron impact (EI) mode.[4]

Coffee samples by HPLC coupled with diode array detector (DAD).[5]
