Experimental and estimated saturated vapour pressures of aroma compounds

Abstract The saturated vapour pressure of d-linalool, 2-nonanone, d-limonene and isoamyl acetate were measured using a static method at different temperatures from 223 to 468 K. From the experimental values, Antoine's constants were determined to enable the calculations of the saturated vapour pressures at a given temperature. The saturated vapour pressure of the four aroma compounds at 298 K were respectively 27, 59, 200 and 733 Pa. These results were compared with those obtained using different estimation methods (Antoine–Grain, Watson, Lee–Kesler, Gomez–Thodos, Grain and Mackay). Gomez–Thodos' model was found to be the most accurate method for the estimation of the saturated vapour press…

Saturated vapour pressure of aroma compounds at various temperatures

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine experimentally the vapour pressures of aroma compounds at various temperatures, especially at negative ones. The aroma compounds were: acetone, 2-butanone, 2-hexanone, 2-octanone, ethyl acetate, ethyl butanoate, ethyl hexanoate, n-hexanal, n-hexanol and γ-hexalactone. The technique used was a static device where vapour pressure was measured at equilibrium. The temperatures of analysis varied from −40 to 25 °C. Volatility of a pure compound depends on characteristics such as length of the aliphatic chain, the functional group and temperature. Among an homologous series, volatility increases when the aliphatic chain decreases and when temperatur…

Water vapour pressure above saturated salt solutions at low temperatures

Abstract The properties of water–salt systems in relation to their vapour pressure are studied especially at low temperature. The water vapour pressure of saturated salt solutions of strontium chloride, zinc chloride, nickel chloride, nickel nitrate, magnesium chloride, magnesium bromide, magnesium nitrate, calcium chloride, potassium nitrite, lithium chloride, lithium bromide, lithium iodide and sodium bromide are measured in a temperature range −40 to +10°C. The apparatus used in this study, is well adapted to measure very low pressure with an uncertainty of pressure measurement of 2% for a range between 10−3 and 10 mm Hg. The experimental values are fitted by Antoine equation with mean p…
