Description and Uses
n-Heptadecane is used as an internal standard to study the first direct comparison of kava lactone extraction efficiencies. It plays an important role as a suspended solvent used for the extraction and concentration of essential oil. It is used as a precursor in the production of iminoctadine triacetate
