Disease relevance of pentan-2-one

The enantioselective reduction of 2-pentanone to (R)- and (S)-2-pentanol by Thermoanaerobacter (formerly Thermoanaerobium) brockii alcohol dehydrogenase (TBADH) in mixtures of water and water-miscible organic solvents was investigated [1].

High impact information on pentan-2-one

Acetaldehyde and 2-methyl-propanal were also produced on MEA and barley, while 2-pentanone, methyl acetate, 2-butanol and 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol were observed on soybeans [2].
The binding of sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins extracted from postrigor pork muscle and from 7 and 12 months dry-cured hams with volatile compounds such as 3-methyl-butanal, 2-methyl-butanal, 2-pentanone, hexanal, methional, and octanal was studied using solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography analysis [3].
