To separate methyl 2-hydroxyisobutyrate from an aqueous solution, alkyl alcohols were selected as extractants. The liquid–liquid equilibrium data for the system {water + methyl 2-hydroxyisobutyrate + extractants (1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, 1-octanol, and 1-nonanol)} were determined at a temperature of 303.2 K. The partition coefficients and separation factors were calculated to assess the effectiveness of the extraction process. Additionally, the data were correlated using the NRTL and UNIQUAC models, with parameter regression conducted accordingly. The GMcal_TieLinesLL tool was utilized to evaluate the regression model parameters, and the results conformed to the Gibbs stability criterion. The present study further investigates the separation mechanism through analyses of σ-profile, deformation charge density, interaction energies, and Reduced Density Gradient (RDG) analysis. Ultimately, it was concluded that 1-nonanol exhibited the most effective extraction performance.

Currently, the effect of varieties on the flavor and stability of flaxseed milk remains unknown. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the effects of different varieties on the stability, sensory, and aromas of flaxseed milk. 51 volatile compounds were identified in flaxseed milk using Stir Bar Sorptive Extraction-Gas Chromatography-Olfactometry-Mass Spectrometry (SBSE-GC-O-MS). Among them, 1-octen-3-ol, 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol, and 2,3,5-trimethylpyrazine contributed higher relative odor active values (ROAV), resulted in the fruity, roasted, sweet, and cucumber in flaxseed milk. Isovaleraldehyde (green notes) was not detected in XHZM. However, other compounds such as 1-nonanol (floral), γ-nonanolactone and γ-octanoic lactone (coconut milk) had higher concentrations, causing a better sensory evaluation. Additionally, its stability was relatively good. The orthogonal partial least-squares regression (OPLS) model and VIP values showed that eight compounds were responsible for the sensory differences from different varietals. The study provided references to selection and understanding flavor composition basis of flaxseed milk.
