General description

EMPLURA® is our low-cost alternative to high-purity qualities. With EMPLURA we offer a range of solvents for a plurality of basic applications in non-regulated industries and for less demanding applications, preparative laboratory work and cleaning purposes. EMPLURA solvents provide adequate specifications with the most important parameters.

Application


  • Characterization and comparison of flavors in fresh and aged fermented peppers: Impact of different varieties: 1-Butanol is used in the analytical methods for evaluating flavor profiles in food research, highlighting its significance in food chemistry and quality control (Liu M et al., 2024).

  • Controlling soft rot of green pepper by bacteriocin paracin wx3 and its effect on storage quality of green pepper: The study incorporates 1-Butanol in methodologies to examine the preservation and quality of green peppers, indicating its application in post-harvest technology and plant pathology (Yi L et al., 2024).

  • Pathway toward Scalable Energy-Efficient Li-Mediated Ammonia Synthesis: This research utilizes 1-Butanol in processes related to energy-efficient synthesis technologies, underlining its potential in sustainable industrial applications (Kani NC et al., 2024).
