Abstract
Long-chain aldehydes (LCA), such as pentadecanal (PD), (8Z,11Z)-heptadecadienal (HDD) and (8Z,11Z,14Z)-heptadecatrienal (HDT), were identified in the essential oils obtained from fresh green tobacco leaves (Nicotiana tabacum cv. BY2 and N. tabacum cv. MC). PD, HDD and HDT were found to be produced enzymatically from palmitic acid (PA), linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, respectively. LCA-forming activity for PA changed during growth of tobacco leaves and was highest at flowering time.
