BACKGROUND
Plants often release a complex blend of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in response to insect herbivore damage. Among those blends of VOC green leaf volatiles (GLV) have been demonstrated to function as defence signals between plants, thereby providing protection against impending
A new method was developed to determine vapor-phase acrolein in air samples. Air containing vapor-phase acrolein was purged into impingers filled with a dichloromethane solution of N-methylhydrazine. The resulting derivative, 1-methyl-2-pyrazoline, was analyzed by gas chromatography using a
2,4-Decadienal is used as a synthetic flavoring and fragrance material and has been evaluated as a corrosion inhibitor for steel in oil field operations. 2,4-Decadienal was nominated by the National Cancer Institute for toxicity testing because the dienaldehydes occur naturally in a variety of foods
Heating amino acids with dietary oils or animal fats at elevated temperatures produced various amounts of acrylamide. The amount of acrylamide formation corresponded to the degree of unsaturation of the oils and animal fats. The decreasing order of acrylamide formation from dietary oils or animal
2,4-Hexadienal, a colorless to yellow liquid with a pungent "green" or citrus odor, is used as a food additive for flavor enhancement, as a fragrance agent, as a starting material or intermediate in synthetic reactions in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, as a fumigant, and as a corrosion
