Pojmanova, Petra;Ladislavova, Nikola;Skerikova, Veronika;Kania, Patrik;Urban, Stepan published 《Human scent samples for chemical analysis》 in 2020. The article was appeared in 《Chemical Papers》. They have made some progress in their research.SDS of cas: 2425-77-6 The article mentions the following:
This study is focused on finding an optimal preparation of the human scent samples for their detailed chem. anal. in connection with the possible forensic identifications of human individuals in the future. At the present time, the scent identification of people is carried out nearly exclusively using specially trained dogs. It is assumed that the human scent contains a certain group of compounds which allows the identification of people, the so-called human scent signature; however, its chem. composition is completely unknown, as of now. The principal problem of human scent studies consists in the very low concentrations of thousands of the scent compounds, whereas their relative concentrations are usually dramatically different. It seems to be obvious that the most appropriate anal. technique for these thousands of different chem. compounds is GC/MS. However, it is also necessary to find the most suitable sorbent material for human scent collection, an extraction solvent, and a pre-concentration technique. The selection of the appropriate gas chromatog. method is also important to achieve the optimal resolution of the targeted compounds Of course, in the first instance, it is necessary to decide what it means “the most suitable” for human scent chem. anal.2-Hexyl-1-decanol (cas: 2425-77-6) were involved in the experimental procedure.
2-Hexyl-1-decanol(cas: 2425-77-6) is a branched alcohol. It is one of the constituent of the essential oil, extracted from the roots of Adiantum flabellulatum. SDS of cas: 2425-77-6
