Application


  • RIFM fragrance ingredient safety assessment, ethyl laurate, CAS Registry Number 106-33-2.: This study, published in Food and Chemical Toxicology, assesses the safety of ethyl laurate as a fragrance ingredient. The comprehensive review includes various toxicological endpoints and supports the safe use of ethyl laurate in fragrance formulations (Api et al., 2022).

  • Application of a statistically enhanced, novel, organic solvent stable lipase from Bacillus safensis DVL-43.: This research explores the use of a novel lipase from Bacillus safensis in biocatalysis, highlighting its stability in organic solvents and its potential applications in the synthesis of ethyl laurate and other esters. The findings indicate significant improvements in enzymatic efficiency and potential industrial applications (Kumar et al., 2014).
