Butyric Acid Analysis Service

The name of butyric acid is from Greek word, which means "butter". Butyric acid is abbreviated BTA because it is also known under the systematic name butanoic acid. It is a carboxylic acid and the structural formula of butyric acid is CH3CH2CH2-COOH. The butyrates or butanoates is the salts and esters of butyric acid. Butyric acid can be found in milk, particularly in goat, buffalo and sheep milk, parmesan cheese and butter. Butyric acid can be served as a product of anaerobic fermentation including in the colon and as body odor. Butyric acid has an unpleasant smell, acrid taste and a sweetish aftertaste. The French chemist named as Michel Eugène Chevreul observed the impure form of butyric acid in 1814 for the first time. He purified a large amount butyric acid enough to characterize it. Michel Eugène Chevreul deposited his findings in manuscript form in the secretary of Academy of Sciences in Paris, France instead to his early research with scientific paper. Until 1823, Michel Eugène Chevreul presented the properties of butyric acid in detail. The name of butyric acid is from the Latin word for butter.

Butyric acid Analysis Service

Scientists at Creative Proteomics utilize a highly quantitative method with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the determination of butyric acid levels in various samples, including Tissue, Plant, Bacterial, Cells and more. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) using a differential refractive index detector (RID) for the determination of butyric acid levels in a lot of biological samples.

Butyric acid can be used to prepare of various butyrate esters. Methyl butyrate, which one of the low molecular weight esters of butyric acid, has mostly pleasant aromas or tastes than butyric acid. As a result, methyl butyrate is used as food and perfume additives. Animal feed is also supplied with methyl butyrate to reduce pathogenic bacteria colonization. It is also a food flavoring approved in the EU FLAVIS database. Butyric acid has also been acted as a fishing bait additive due to its powerful odor. Butyric acid is used as ester base in many of the commercially available flavors used in carp. Sea Shepherd Conservation Society also uses butyric acid as anti-abortion protesters to disrupt abortion clinics or as a stink bomb o disrupt Japanese whaling crews.

From Our Clients

"I recently used their proteomics service for a project analyzing protein interactions in yeast models. The team was very responsive and helped clarify the methodology they employed, which made me feel confident in the results. The data quality was solid, with clear identification of several key proteins involved in our study. Their thorough analysis enabled me to pinpoint specific interactions that I hadn't considered before, which significantly improved the direction of my research. I appreciate their professionalism and support throughout the process."

Sarah Thompson, University of California, Berkeley

"Our lab collaborated with them on a project studying cancer biomarkers. The proteomics analysis provided was detailed and focused, specifically highlighting the differential expression of proteins between healthy and tumor samples. Their clear explanations of the data helped my team understand the biological implications. I also appreciated their willingness to revise the reports based on our feedback, ensuring that we had everything we needed for our publication. This collaborative spirit was invaluable."

Emily Rodriguez, Stanford University

"Our lab worked with them on a project studying the effects of diet on gut microbiota using proteomics. They used a label-free quantification method to analyze proteins in fecal samples before and after dietary intervention. The results showed significant changes in protein expression linked to microbial activity. This was pivotal for our hypothesis about diet-microbiota interactions. The clarity of their data presentation made it easy for our team to integrate these findings into our ongoing research."

Dr. Lisa Wong, University of Toronto

"My experience with Creative Proteomics during the mass spectrometry analysis was excellent. We sent in human saliva and mouse brain tissue samples, which they expertly analyzed using both LC-MS and GC-MS techniques. The results were invaluable, revealing key metabolites in the saliva and identifying biomarkers linked to brain function in the brain tissue."

Dr. Emily Carter, Senior Research Scientist

"The overall service from Creative Proteomics was outstanding. They made the entire process seamless and efficient, allowing us to focus on our research. We worked with leaf and root samples from various Arabidopsis genotypes for targeted metabolomics analysis. Their thorough profiling of primary and secondary metabolites gave us important insights into how the plants respond metabolically to environmental stress."

Dr. Laura Henderson, Plant Physiologist

"We had a pleasant collaboration with Creative Proteomics on mass spectrometry analysis of lipids. They conducted a detailed analysis of lipid species, providing us with important insights into lipid metabolism and its relationship with metabolic syndrome disease states."

Dr. Sarah Mitchell, Research Scientist
