Application


  • (14)C-Isotope Use to Quantify Covalent Reactions between Flavor Compounds and β-Lactoglobulin.: This article details a method using C-14 isotopes to track the covalent bonding of Decanal to proteins like β-Lactoglobulin, providing a new approach to understanding flavor compound interactions, essential for food science research (Shepelev and Reineccius, 2024).

General description

Decanal is one of the volatile flavor compounds found in orange juices and beef.
