Results of these studies demonstrate that the blue crab was readily able to take up and discharge labeled n-alkanes, but it was not able to metabolize them. In contrast, it appears that n-alkanes taken up via the digestive tract in mullet are readily metabolized, probably via microorganisms in the gut. More limited metabolism was observed in mullet when n-alkanes were taken up via the gills.

In atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI-MS), [M-3H+HO] ions can deliver analyte-specific signals that enable direct analysis of volatile n-alkane mixtures. The underlying ionization mechanisms have been the subject of open debate, and in particular the role of water is insufficiently clarified to allow for reliable process analytics when the humidity level changes over time. This can be a problem, particularly in online monitoring, where analyte accumulation in the ion source can also occur.

The use of enrichment and bedding materials in pig husbandry intends to comply with the animals' behavioural needs to perform natural exploratory behaviour, which is strongly connected to foraging behaviour. It can thus be assumed that pigs will ingest a certain material quantity possibly posing a risk to animal health and food safety as previous studies identified contaminants in enrichment and bedding materials. However, risk assessment requires knowledge about the effective amount of ingested material.

The assessment of feed intake in stabled horses is a difficult task to accomplish. Faecal markers, namely n-alkanes, have been used successfully for the estimation of this important nutritional parameter. This usually involves the dosing of synthetic n-alkanes via different matrices, a laborious task that may also influence the animal normal foraging behaviour.

Soft ionization by a chemical reaction in transfer (SICRIT) is applied to couple gas chromatography (GC) to a high-resolution atmospheric pressure inlet mass spectrometer. These instruments are generally used in combination with liquid chromatography systems (LC-MS). Ionization of alkanes is not possible here with conventional electrospray ionization.
