Assessing the reliability of plant-wax markers to delineate diet choice and feed efficiency in beef heifers
… collected for the final 5 days. Hydrocarbons and alcohols were quantified with gas chromatography. Estimates were based on least squares. Operator expertise affected measured concentrations of shorter-chained n-alkanes (P<0.041) and long-chain alcohols (P<0.02). Still, overall reliability of the …

Production and characterization of two AA3 enzymes from Arabidopsis thaliana
… oxidase and dehydrogenase activities toward aryl alcohols, with cinnamyl alcohol as its preferred substrate. It also displayed oxidase activity toward primary alcohols. AtAA3G exhibited oxidase activity, with the highest activity observed toward the long-chain alcohols 1-decanol and 1-dodecanol. …

Wax extraction and characterization from full-fat and defatted rice bran
… bran wax esters (RBWE) generate fatty acids, long chain alcohols, and phytosterols. Phytosterols and long chain fatty alcohols (policosanol) are known to reduce serum cholesterol and inhibit hepatic cholesterol synthesis. The yields and RBWE contents of RBO and RBW extracted from full-fat RB …

Creating long-range hydrophobic forces by coadsorption of ionic and neutral surfactants
… at pH 5.7 in the presence and absence of long-chain alcohols. With DAHCI alone, only "short-range" hydrophobic forces were observed with decay lengths of 1.2-1.4 nm. In the presence of octanol, long range hydrophobic forces were observed with decay lengths in the range of 2.0-6.8 nm. In …

Spatial Allocation of Forages and Its Impact on Grazing Behavior, Diet Selection and Dry Matter Intake of Beef Steers
… composition was estimated using n-alkanes and long chain alcohols (LCOH) in several different combinations. The use of LCOH added additional characterization of the forages, but diet composition estimates were not different (P ≥ 0.22) than when estimated using four different n-alkanes. …

Cytochrome P450 whole cell biohydroxylation of alkanes
… but also as a precursor to produce valuable long chain alcohols. Effective use, or resource efficiency, with respect to alkanes is important in sustainable processing. Alkanes contain unreactive hydrocarbon bonds and cracking processes apply high temperatures and pressures to split these …
