Application

  • Recruitment of Hippodamia variegata by active volatiles from Glycyrrhiza uralensis and Alhagi sparsifolia plants infested with Aphis atrata.: This research explores the role of butyl butyrate as a volatile compound in attracting predatory insects to plants infested with aphids. The study provides valuable insights into plant-insect interactions and the potential use of natural volatiles in integrated pest management (Jiang et al., 2024).

F Borzeix et al.
Enzyme and microbial technology, 14(10), 791-797 (1992-10-01)
The kinetics of butyl butyrate synthesis by a lipase from Mucor miehei in different types of organic media were investigated. The three systems studied were a microaqueous medium containing enzyme in suspension in hexane, a water-hexane two-phase system, and reverse
Corjan van den Berg et al.
Biotechnology and bioengineering, 110(1), 137-142 (2012-07-27)
The recovery of 1-butanol from fermentation broth is energy-intensive since typical concentrations in fermentation broth are below 20 g L(-1). To prevent butanol inhibition and high downstream processing costs, we aimed at producing butyl esters instead of 1-butanol. It is
Andrew S French et al.
Chemical senses, 32(7), 681-688 (2007-06-15)
Sensory receptors often receive strongly dynamic, or time varying, inputs in their natural environments. Characterizing their dynamic properties requires control and measurement of the stimulus over a frequency range that equals or exceeds the receptor response. Techniques for dynamic stimulation
