General description

Ethyl lactate is a major volatile flavor compound identified in Chinese Luzhou-flavor type liquor.

Application


  • Characterization of the differences in aroma-active compounds in strong-flavor Baijiu induced by bioaugmented Daqu using metabolomics and sensomics approaches.: This paper characterizes aroma-active compounds in strong-flavor Baijiu influenced by bioaugmented Daqu. Utilizing metabolomics and sensomics, the study highlights the role of ethyl lactate among other compounds in defining the beverage′s unique aroma profile (Mu et al., 2023).

  • A sustainable application for the extraction of lichen metabolites from Usnea cornuta: nontargeted metabolomics and antioxidant activity.: This research presents a sustainable method for extracting lichen metabolites using ethyl lactate. The study applies nontargeted metabolomics to evaluate antioxidant activities, demonstrating the compound′s efficacy and environmental benefits in natural product extraction (Castañeta et al., 2023).

  • Extraction of curcuminoids by using ethyl lactate and its optimisation by response surface methodology.: This article explores the use of ethyl lactate for extracting curcuminoids and optimizes the process using response surface methodology. The findings underscore ethyl lactate′s potential as a green solvent in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical extractions (D′Archivio et al., 2018).

  • Identification of Key Aroma Compounds in Type I Sourdough-Based Chinese Steamed Bread: Application of Untargeted Metabolomics Analysis.: This study identifies key aroma compounds in Type I sourdough-based Chinese steamed bread using untargeted metabolomics. Ethyl lactate is highlighted as a significant contributor to the bread′s aromatic profile, impacting its sensory characteristics (Yan et al., 2019).
