General description

Acetaldehyde diethyl acetal is one of the precursors utilized for the synthesis of fragrances and pharmaceutical products.

Application

Acetaldehyde diethyl acetal may be used as a reference standard for the determination of acetaldehyde diethyl acetal in:
  • Wine vinegars by headspace sorptive extraction−thermal desorption−gas chromatography−mass spectrometry (HSSE−TD−GC−MS).
  • Distilled spirits by GC with flame ionization detection (FID) as well as GC-FID-MS.
  • Organic red wines derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains by GC-FID as well as HSSE-GC−MS.
  • Cognac (brandy) by HS-GC-MS.
