It presents a critical evaluation of the toxicity and ecotoxicity data of n-butanol (nBA). Since the last comprehensive review of nBA by IPCS a in 1987, new data have become available. A hazard/risk assessment will be required under current OECD/EU schemes b,c. nBA is a colourless liquid that is primarily used as an intermediate in the manufacture of other chemicals, and in solvent applications. If nBA is released into the environment (airborne), a major part will be distributed to the water compartment. nBA is rapidly degraded in air and water; little accumulation in soil, biota, sediment or suspended matter is anticipated. nBA has a low order of toxicity at all trophic levels. nBA is readily absorbed through the lungs of humans and laboratory animals and can also penetrate the skin. Following absorption, nBA is rapidly metabolised, ultimately to CO2, with small amounts being eliminated in urine as glucuronide and sulphate conjugates. When administered in single doses to laboratory animals by gavage, inhalation or application to the skin, nBA exhibits a low order of toxicity. Available information on the effects of nBA following repeated exposure is supplemented in this report by data on n-butyl acetate, an ester that hydrolyses to form nBA and acetic acid within minutes of entering systemic circulation. The typical effect of high doses of nBA following single or repeated exposure is a transient, depression (narcosis) of the central nervous system, which is commonly seen with other short chain alkyl alcohols. Specific neurotoxicity is not observed. Specific target organs and selective toxicity have not been identified. nBA is not genotoxic and there is no concern for carcinogenic potential. nBA showed some foetotoxicity in laboratory animals at high concentrations that were toxic to the mother, but is devoid of selective developmental toxicity. Male or female fertility is not adversely affected, as shown by studies with n-butyl acetate. Earlier reports describing neurotoxicity and hearing loss in workers exposed to nBA have not been substantiated. In humans, nBA is slightly to moderately irritant to the skin on prolonged contact, and moderately irritant to the eyes. a IPCS Environmental Health Criteria Documents [http://www.who.int/pcs/ra_site/ehc.html] b OECD Existing Chemicals Programme [http://www1.oecd.org/ehs/hazard.htm] c EU Existing Chemicals Work Area [http://ecb.ei.jrc.it/existing-chemicals/] 1 ECETOC JACC No. 41 n-Butanol (CAS No. 71-36-3) THE ECETOC SCHEME FOR THE JOINT ASSESSMENT OF COMMODITY CHEMICALS This report has been produced by an ECETOC Task Force as part of the Joint Assessment of Commodity Chemicals (JACC) programme for preparing critical reviews of the toxicology and ecotoxicology of selected existing industrial chemicals. In the programme, commodity chemicals (i.e. those produced in large tonnage by several companies and having widespread and multiple uses) are jointly reviewed by experts from a number of companies with knowledge of the chemical. It should be noted that in a JACC review only the chemical itself is considered; products in which it appears as an impurity are not normally taken into account. This report presents a critical evaluation of the toxicology, ecotoxicology and physico-chemical properties of n-butanol (nBA; CAS No. 71-36-3). This information is supplemented by toxicological data on n-butyl acetate, which is rapidly hydrolysed in vivo to nBA and acetic acid. Where relevant, the Task Force has assigned a Code of Reliability (CoR) a to (eco)toxicological studies to reflect the degree of confidence that can be placed on the reported results. The criteria used to assess and categorise reliability are included in Appendix B. a A list of special abbreaviations is given at Appendix A 2 ECETOC JACC No. 41 n-Butanol (CAS No.

  • Effect of Enzymes on Strawberry Volatiles During Storage, at Different Ripeness
    Effect of Enzymes on Strawberry Volatiles During Storage, at Different Ripeness Level, in Different Cultivars and During Eating Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gulsah Ozcan Graduate Program in Food Science and Technology The Ohio State University 2010 Thesis Committee: Sheryl Ann Barringer, Adviser W. James Harper John Litchfield 1 Copyright by Gülşah Özcan 2010 ii ABSTRACT Strawberry samples with enzyme activity and without enzyme activity (stannous chloride added) were measured for real time formation of lipoxygenase (LOX) derived aroma compounds after 5 min pureeing using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS). The concentration of (Z)-3-hexenal and (E)-2-hexenal increased immediately after blending and gradually decreased over time while hexanal concentration increased for at least 5 min in ground strawberries. The formation of hexanal was slower than the formation of (Z)-3-hexenal and (E)-2-hexenal in the headspace of pureed strawberries. The concentration of LOX aldehydes and esters significantly increased during refrigerated storage. Damaging strawberries increased the concentration of LOX aldehydes but did not significantly affect the concentration of esters. The concentrations of many of the esters were strongly correlated to their corresponded acids and/or aldehydes. The concentration of LOX generated aldehydes decreased during ripening, while fruity esters increased. Different varieties had different aroma profiles and esters were the greatest percentage of the volatiles. The aroma release of some of the LOX derived aldehydes in the mouthspace in whole strawberries compared to chopped strawberries showed that these volatiles are formed in the mouth during chewing.

  • Transcription 12.01.12
    Lecture 2B • 01/12/12 We covered three different reactions for converting alcohols into leaving groups. One was to turn an alcohol into an alkyl chloride, that was using thionyl chloride. Second reaction was using tosyl chloride; the primary difference between those two reactions is one of stereochemistry. An inversion of stereochemistry does occur if you use thionyl chloride, because it does affect the carbon-oxygen bond, but because forming a tosylate does not touch the carbon-oxygen bond, only the oxygen- hydrogen bond, there’s no change in stereochemistry there. We then saw phosphorus tribromide that reacts very similarly to the thionyl chloride; you get an alkyl bromide instead, but it also has inversion of configuration. The last reaction is not a new mechanism, it is just an Sn2 reaction, it’s called the Finkelstein reaction. Really this works, in a sense, off of Le Châtelier’s principle. In solution, in theory, sodium iodide can displace bromide, but sodium bromide can displace iodide, so you can have an Sn2 reaction that goes back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. Except, sodium iodide is somewhat soluble in acetone, while sodium chloride and sodium bromide are not. So, in fact, one of the things that we get out of this as a by-product is sodium bromide, which, again, is not soluble in acetone and therefore precipitates out and is no longer part of the reaction mixture, so there’s no reverse reaction possible. Because of this solubility trick, it allows this reaction to be pulled forward, which means you can get the alkyl iodide.

  • Analysis of Strawberry Volatiles in Different Hydrocolloids and Different
    Analysis of strawberry volatiles in different hydrocolloids and different conditions using Selected Ion Flow Tube – Mass Spectrometry THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Yachen Zhang Graduate Program in Food Science and Technology The Ohio State University 2016 Master's Examination Committee: Dr. Sheryl Barringer, Advisor Dr. Dennis Heldman Dr. Christopher Simons © Copyright by Yachen Zhang 2016 i ABSTRACT Hydrocolloids and additives in gummy candies bind flavors, thus it is important to know how these additives affect flavor release. Selected Ion Flow Tube- Mass Spectrometry (SIFT-MS) was used to perform static headspace and mouthspace tests. The release of strawberry flavor in different hydrocolloids (gelatin, pectin, and starch) and conditions were analyzed. The factors that were considered were the type of hydrocolloid (gelatin, pectin, and starch), the concentration of the pectin (0, 2, 3, 5 g), sugar content (0, 55, 64, 74g), and acidity (pH 3.86, 3.65, 3.55, 3.47). Volatile release into the headspace of the samples containing no hydrocolloids was significantly higher than samples that contained hydrocolloids. The type of hydrocolloid significantly affected volatile compound concentration released into the headspace. Volatile levels in pectin and starch were lower than when no hydrocolloid was present, but they were not significant different with each other. Gelatin had the lowest volatile concentrations released into the headspace for most compounds. Increasing pectin decreased volatiles release compared to no hydrocolloids present. When the pectin content was further increased from 2g to 5g, most of volatiles had no significant difference.

At the June 2010 meeting, the Panel reviewed information submitted in response to an insufficient data announcement for HRIPT data for Cetyl Acetate at the highest concentration of use (lipstick). On reviewing the data in the report, evaluating the newly available unpublished studies and assessing the newly added ingredients, the Panel determined that the data are now sufficient, and issued a Tentative Report, with a safe as used conclusion. Included in this report are Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) sponsored toxicity studies on Methyl Acetate and Propyl Acetate, which were provided in “wave 2” at the June Panel Meeting but are now incorporated in full. The Tentative Report was issued for a 60 day comment period (60 days as of the August panel meeting start date). The Panel should now review the Draft Final Report, confirm the conclusion of safe, and issue a Final Report.

Currently, the main substitute of gasoline is ethanol, which helps to reduce CO and HC emissions but presents a series of drawbacks such as a low heating value and a high hygroscopic tendency, which cause higher fuel consumption and corrosion problems, respectively. This paper shows the most relevant properties when replacing ethanol by renewable n-butanol, which presents a higher heating value and a lower hygroscopic tendency compared to the former. The test matrix carried out for this experimental study includes, on the one hand, ethanol substitution by n-butanol in commercial blends and, on the other hand, either ethanol or gasoline substitution by n-butanol in E85 blends (85% ethanol-15% gasoline by volume). The results show that the substitution of n-butanol by ethanol presents a series of benefits such as a higher heating value and a greater interchangeability with gasoline compared to ethanol, which makes n-butanol a promising fuel for SIEs in commercial blends.
