Analysis of volatile constituents from cocoa extract (Theobroma cacao. L) by using stir bar sorptive extraction-thermal desorption/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was written by Mao, Deshou;Su, Yong;Qu, Rongfen;Li, Zhiyu;Liu, Qiang. And the article was included in Xiangliao Xiangjing Huazhuangpin in 2012.Reference of 68527-74-2 This article mentions the following:
The volatile constituents of Cocoa extract were identified by using stir bar sorptive extraction-thermal desorption/gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry (SBSE-TDU/GC-MS). With the MS library search and retention index comparison, 73 compounds were confirmed with PDMS twister, and the main constituents included isovaleric acid (25.28%), isovaleraldehyde propylene glycol acetal (14.57%), benzyl acetate (10.60%), 1,2-propylene glycol (9.17%), phenethyl alc. (9.00%), dibenzyl ketone (5.00%), phenethyl phenylacetate (4.50%), isoamyl isovalerate (3.63%), 2,3,5-trimethylpyrazine (2.34%), 2-methoxy-3-Me pyrazine (2.29%), 2-isopropyl-5-methyl-2-hexenal (1.53%), Et linoleate (1.25%) and acetic acid (1.10%), while with EG-silicone twister, 59 chems. were determined, which included the following main compounds: 2,3,5-trimethylpyrazin (63.59%), acetic acid (12.06%), isovaleraldehyde propylene glycol acetal (4.96%), benzyl acetate (3.92%), palmitic acid (1.89%), guaiacol (1.41%), isovaleric acid (1.08%), dibenzyl ketone (1.08%) and glycerin (1.01%). The research provided technol. supports for exploitation and quality control of cocoa extract In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-Methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)phenol (cas: 68527-74-2Reference of 68527-74-2).
2-Methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)phenol (cas: 68527-74-2) belongs to dioxole derivatives. Dioxoles, particularly fluorinated dioxoles, are used as co-monomers to make polymers that find use in forming protective coatings for chemical resistance. 1,3-Benzodioxole can be synthesized from catechol with disubstituted halomethanes.Reference of 68527-74-2
