General description

2-Propanol belongs to the class of volatile compounds and is an important aroma component found in wines, further adding to the organoleptic characteristic of the wines.
2-Propanol is a secondary alcohol, which can find a wide number of applications as a solvent.
This substance is listed on the positive list of the EU regulation 10/2011 for plastics intended to come into contact with food. Find all available reference materials for compounds listed in 10/2011 here

Application

2-Propanol may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in wine samples using gas chromatography techniques. It may also be used as a co-solvent for the supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of caffeine, chlorogenic acids and lipids from green coffee beans, analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography technique.
2-Propanol may be used as an extraction solvent for the liquid-liquid extraction of acyclovir from human serum, which may be analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
