Jan E Wahlberg et al.
Contact dermatitis, 49(3), 117-123 (2003-12-18)
Irritant contact dermatitis is defined as a non-immunological skin reaction following exposure to various chemical, mechanical and physical factors. It is known that the skin response to irritants depends on the irritant applied and differs between chemically different irritants. Sodium
Wilbur Johnson et al.
International journal of toxicology, 30(6 Suppl), 228S-269S (2012-01-25)
Pelargonic acid and its esters function as skin-conditioning agents in cosmetics. Molecular weight (mw) and octanol-water partition coefficient data suggest that dermal penetration is possible. The biohandling of branched-chain fatty acids is not the same as for straight-chain fatty acids
J Wang et al.
Journal of dairy science, 104(2), 1576-1590 (2020-12-29)
To determine the odor-active compounds in Cheddar cheeses with different ripening times (6, 10, and 14 mo), 39 potent odorants of Cheddar cheeses were identified with a flavor dilution factor range between 1 and 512 by aroma extract dilution analysis.
