Abstract

The aroma composition of autoxidized arachidonic acid was characterized by aroma extract dilution analysis. The most potent odorant was trans-4, 5-epoxy-(E)-2-decenal followed by 1- octen-3-one,(E, Z)-2, 4-decadienal,(E, Z, Z)-2, 4, 7-tridecatrienal,(E, E)-2, 4-decadienal, and hexanal.(E, Z, Z)-2, 4, 7-Tridecatrienal was unequivocally identified by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data. The stereochemistry of its extended double- ...
