Application


  • Microwave-Assisted Extraction of Secondary Metabolites Using Ethyl Lactate Green Solvent from Ambrosia arborescens: LC/ESI-MS/MS and Antioxidant Activity.: This paper demonstrates the use of ethyl lactate as a green solvent for extracting bioactive compounds from Ambrosia arborescens. The study shows that ethyl lactate is effective in enhancing the yield and antioxidant activity of the extracted metabolites, supporting its use in sustainable extraction processes (Guillen et al., 2024).

  • Impact of indigenous Oenococcus oeni and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum species co-culture on Cabernet Sauvignon wine malolactic fermentation: Kinetic parameters, color and aroma.: Ethyl lactate is examined for its role in the malolactic fermentation process in wine production. The research highlights its contribution to the aroma and flavor profile of Cabernet Sauvignon, emphasizing the synergistic effects of microbial interactions (Zhang et al., 2024).

  • Effect of osmotic dehydration combined with vacuum freeze-drying treatment on characteristic aroma components of peach slices.: This study investigates the use of ethyl lactate in preserving and enhancing the aroma of peach slices during dehydration and freeze-drying processes. The findings suggest that ethyl lactate helps retain key volatile compounds, improving the sensory qualities of the dried product (Wang et al., 2024).
