Tsochatzis, Emmanouil; Lopes, Joao Alberto; Gika, Helen; Theodoridis, Georgios published an article in 2021, the title of the article was Polystyrene biodegradation by Tenebrio molitor larvae: identification of generated substances using a GC-MS untargeted screening method.SDS of cas: 96-76-4 And the article contains the following content:
A GC-MS method has been applied to screen and evaluate the generation of chem. compounds during the biodegradation of polystyrene (PS) with Tenebrio molitor larvae. Several resulting compounds have been identified, including trimers 2,4,6-triphenyl-1-hexene and 1,3,5-triphenylcyclohexane, the volatiles acetophenone and cumyl alc., and 2,4-di-tert butylphenol, a non-intentionally added substance (NIAS) present in the plastic material. The PS monomers styrene and a-Me styrene were also identified in the extracts Bioactive mols. present in the biomass of the studied insects were identified, such as the free fatty acids myristic, palmitic, and oleic acid. Undecanoic acid was also found, but in lower mass fractions. Finally, biochem. formatted amides resulting from their resp. fatty acids were identified, namely tetradecanamide, hexadecanamide and oleamide. The formation of all these substances seems to suggest enzymic and biochem. activity occurring during the biodegradation of PS, and their amounts varied throughout the experience. The overall degradation rate of PS resulted in a 13% rate, which highlights the potential of biorecycling using these insects. The experimental process involved the reaction of 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol(cas: 96-76-4).SDS of cas: 96-76-4
