And the article was included in Data in Brief in 2021.Formula: C20H26O4 This article mentions the following:
The data presented in this study represents the profile of metabolites of germinated Bambara groundnut flour (GBF) and starch (GBS) extracted using two different extraction solvents. Bambara groundnuts obtained from a local agro market in Minna, Niger State, Nigeria were germinated at 28 ± 1°C for 24, 48 and 72 h, dried and then processed into flour and starch. Raw Bambara groundnuts (0 h) were also processed into flour and starch and served as controls. Samples at the different germination times were extracted using methanol/water (80:20vol./volume) and acetonitrile/methanol/water (40:40:20 volume/volume/v), concentrated, reconstituted and analyzed on a gas chromatog.-high resolution time of flight-mass spectrometer (GC-HRTOF-MS). Data obtained were classified into compound groups such as acids, alcs., cyclic compounds, esters, ketones, phytosterols, vitamins and many others, and their characteristics such as the retention time, observed mass, mol. formular and mean peak areas were reported. These data represent the collection of metabolites in GBF and GBS and may be useful for the identification and utilization of functional compounds in foods. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Dicyclohexyl phthalate (cas: 84-61-7Formula: C20H26O4).
Dicyclohexyl phthalate (cas: 84-61-7) belongs to esters. Volatile esters with characteristic odours are used in synthetic flavours, perfumes, and cosmetics. Certain volatile esters are used as solvents for lacquers, paints, and varnishes. Liquid esters of low volatility serve as softening agents for resins and plastics. Esters also include many industrially important polymers. Polymethyl methacrylate is a glass substitute sold under the names Lucite and Plexiglas; polyethylene terephthalate is used as a film (Mylar) and as textile fibres sold as Terylene, Fortrel, and Dacron.Formula: C20H26O4
