General description

Hydrodeoxygenation of methyl hexanoate on commercial NiMo/γ-Al2O3 and CoMo/γ-Al2O3 hydro treatment catalysts in either oxide or sulphided form has been investigated. The oxidation of methyl hexanoate in a jet-stirred reactor has been studied.

Application

  • Effect of fat nature and aroma compound hydrophobicity on flavor release from complex food emulsions.: This study examines how the type of fat and the hydrophobic nature of aroma compounds, including methyl hexanoate, affect flavor release in food emulsions. The findings highlight the importance of molecular interactions in designing food products with optimized flavor profiles. (Relkin et al., 2004).
