Use | n-hexanol is used for flavor-based and formulation of essential oils (such as Geranium oil) as part of the head fragrance, and can also be used in trace amounts for Violet, osmanthus fragrans, Magnolia, ylang ylang type essence, to modify or increase the green and tender breath, can also be used in trace amounts of edible coconut formula, berries and all kinds of fruit flavor; Used as solvent and Analytical reagents, also used in the pharmaceutical industry for the preparation of preservatives and sleeping pills. The product is China's GB2760-86 provisions to allow the use of edible spices, mainly for the preparation of coconut and berry flavor; For the production of surfactants, plasticizers, fatty alcohols; Used as chromatographic analysis reagents, also used in organic synthesis, etc. GB 2760-96 provides for the permitted use of flavorants. Commonly used in the essence base and the preparation of essential oils (such as leaf oil) as part of the head fragrance, can also be used in trace amounts of violet, osmanthus, Magnolia, ylang-ylang type essence, to modify or increase the green and tender breath, can also be used in trace amounts of coconut formula, berries and all kinds of fruit flavor. gas chromatographic analysis standard. Lithium chloride was separated from potassium chloride and sodium chloride. Solvent. |
content analysis | 700 of freshly distilled pyridine is placed in a 1000 brown vial with a glass stopper, 11 5g of phthalic anhydride was added and shaken strongly until completely dissolved. Take 25.0 of this solution, put it into an appropriate heat-resistant, pressure-resistant bottle, tightly wrapped and fixed outside the bottle. Accurately weigh about 1 g of the sample with a weighing pipette, put it into a pressure bottle, and cover it. It was wrapped and fixed in a canvas bag, heated in a water bath at 98-100 ° C. For 3H, and the liquid level in the water bath was higher than that in the bottle. After removal, it was cooled to room temperature, and the stopper was carefully opened so that the contents were not lost. Add 0.5 ml of 50.0 mol/L sodium hydroxide solution to the bottle (note: This 50.0ml of 0.5 mol/L sodium hydroxide solution is not included in the final calculation), add 5 drops of 1% phenolphthalein pyridine solution, then titrate to pink end point with 0.5 mol/L sodium hydroxide solution and keep it unchanged for 15 s. A blank test was also performed. Each ml of 0.5mol/L sodium hydroxide solution is equivalent to 51.09 mg of hexanol (C6 H14O). Or according to the GT-10-4 gas chromatography non-polar column method. |
toxicity | GRAS(FEMA). LD50 720 mg/kg (rat, oral). |
usage limit | FEMA(mg/kg): Soft drink 6.6; Cold drink 26; Candy 21; Baked goods 18; pudding 0.22~0.28. Moderate limits (FDA § 172.515,2000). |
production method | is obtained by reduction of N-hexanoic acid. industrially, it is generally obtained by reduction of acetic acid. In laboratory preparation, butyl magnesium bromide can be obtained by the reaction of butyl bromide with magnesium chip, and then reacted with ethylene oxide to obtain ethanol. |
