(-)-Carveol

Carveol is a natural terpenoid alcohol that is a constituent of spearmint oil . It has an odor and flavor that resemble those of spearmint and caraway. Consequently, it is used as a fragrance in cosmetics and as a flavor additive in the food industry. It has been found to exhibit chemoprevention of mammary carcinogenesis (prevents breast cancer)

(-)-Carvone

Carvone is a member of a family of chemicals called terpenoids. Carvone is found naturally in many essential oils, but is most abundant in the oils from seeds of caraway.carvones are used in the food and flavor industry. L-(-)-Carvone is also used for air freshening products and, like many essential oils, oils containing carvones are used in aromatherapy and alternative medicine.

1,1,2-Trichloroethene

1,1,2-Trichloroethene is a chlorinated hydrocarbon commonly used as an industrial solvent. It was used as a volatile anesthetic and as an inhaled obstetrical analgesic in millions of patients. Trichloroethylene's major use was to extract vegetable oils from plant materials such as soy, coconut, and palm. Other uses in the food industry included coffee decaffeination and the preparation of flavoring extracts from hops and spices. It has also been used as a dry cleaning solvent. It is also used in the manufacture of a range of fluorocarbon refrigerants.

1,3-Butanediol

1,3-Butanediol is an organic chemical, an alcohol. It is commonly used as a solvent for food flavouring agents and is a co-monomer used in certain polyurethane and polyester resins.It is one of four stable isomers of butanediol. It is also used as a hypoglycaemic agent.

1,6-Hexanediol

1,6-Hexanediol is a linear diol contains terminally located two primary hydroxyl groups.It is used in the production of polyesters for polyurethane elastomers, coatings, adhesives and polymeric plasticizers.It is also used as an intermediate in the production of the bifunctional Hexanediol Diacrylate.

1-Butanol

1-Butanol is a primary alcohol with a 4-carbon structure. Butanol is one of the group of "fusel alcohols",which have more than two carbon atoms and have significant solubility in water. It occurs naturally as a minor product of the fermentation of sugars and other carbohydrates, and is present in many foods and beverages. It is also used in a wide range of consumer products. The largest use of 1-butanol is as an industrial intermediate, particularly for the manufacture of butyl acetate. It is a petrochemical, manufactured from propylene and usually used close to the point of manufacture. Other industrial uses include the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, polymers, pyroxylin plastics, herbicide esters and butyl xanthate. It is also used as a diluent/reactant in the manufacture of urea-formaldehyde and melamine-formaldehyde resins. It is used as an ingredient in perfumes and as a solvent for the extraction of essential oils. It as been proposed as a substitute for diesel fuel and gasoline.

1-Carboxy-2-(5-oxo-7-oxa-bicyclo[4.1.0]hept-2-yl)-ethyl-ammonium

1-Carboxy-2-(5-oxo-7-oxa-bicyclo[4.1.0]hept-2-yl)-ethyl-ammonium is used in the field of food additive.

1-Heptanol

1-Heptanol is an alcohol with a seven carbon chain.It is commonly used in cardiac electrophysiology experiments to block gap junctions and increase axial resistance between myocytes.1-Heptanol has a pleasant smell and is used in cosmetics for its fragrance.

1-Hydroxy-2-Methoxy-4-Ethyl Benzene

1-Hydroxy-2-Methoxy-4-Ethyl Benzene is used in foodstuff, feed, cosmetic and daily commodities.It has the function of antisepsis and deoxidization and prevention of hypersensitive skin.It is preservative for wine and soy sauce.
