Whisky Lactone Whisky lactone, also known as β-methyl-γ-octalactone or quercus lactone (from the Latin for oak treeQuercus alba), is a flavouring found in American bourbon whiskies, and is also found in all types of oak. The flavour gets into the whisky when it’s matured in oak barrels. The pure molecule has a fierce, strong, and sweet smell… Continue reading Whisky lactone

Article On Alternative Solvents: Shades of Green
The use of alternative reaction solvents is reviewed in terms of life cycle. Supercritical CO2, ionic liquids, fluorous solvents, water, and renewable organics are compared on the basis of their solvency, ease of use, reusability, health and safety, environmental impact, and economic cost. James H. Clark * and Stewart J. Tavener Green Chemistry Centre, Department of Chemistry, University… Continue reading Article On Alternative Solvents: Shades of Green
