Fusel alcohols or fuselol, also sometimes called fusel oils in Europe, are mixtures of several higher alcohols (those with more than two carbons, chiefly amyl alcohol) produced as a by-product of alcoholic fermentation. [1] The word Fusel is German for "bad liquor". [2]
Amyl alcohols are alcohols with the formula C 5 H 11 OH. [1] Eight are known. A mixture of amyl alcohols (also called amyl alcohol) can be obtained from fusel alcohol.Amyl alcohol is used as a solvent and in esterification, by which is produced amyl acetate and other products.
Isoamyl alcohol is a colorless liquid with the formula C 5 H 12 O, specifically (H 3 C–) 2 CH–CH 2 –CH 2 –OH. It is one of several isomers of amyl alcohol (pentanol). It is also known as isopentyl alcohol, isopentanol, or (in the IUPAC recommended nomenclature) 3-methyl-butan-1-ol. An obsolete name for it was isobutyl carbinol. [5]
2-Methyl-2-butanol (2M2B), tert-Amyl alcohol (TAA, tert-amylol) ... Suffocating odor of fusel oil. Slightly suffocating; nonresidual alcoholic. Sweet, musty odor
tert-Amyl alcohol (TAA) or 2-methylbutan-2-ol (2M2B), is a branched pentanol. Historically, TAA has been used as an anesthetic [3] and more recently as a recreational drug. [4] TAA is mostly a positive allosteric modulator for GABA A receptors in the same way as ethanol. [5] The psychotropic effects of TAA and ethanol are similar, though distinct.
A study examining different types of alcohol found that higher consumption of liquor and beer was associated with increased visceral fat in adults. This makes it even more important to moderate ...
Fusel oil, an isomeric mixture of amyl alcohol, is a byproduct of ethanol production from sugars. Green solvents derived from fusel oil such as isoamyl acetate or isoamyl methyl carbonate could be obtained.
Kelly Ripa, 54, has been sober for years. But now, she's revealing that she actually gained weight after she stopped drinking alcohol in 2017. On a January 22 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark ...
