Natural Hexaldehyde Usage


Description

Hexanal has a characteristic fruity odor and taste (on dilution). May be prepared from the calcium salt of caproic acid and formic acid.

Chemical Properties

Hexanal has a fatty, green, grassy, powerful, penetrating characteristic fruity odor and taste (on dilution).

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid; sharp aldehyde odor.Immiscible with water.

Chemical Properties

Hexanal occurs, for example, in apple and strawberry aromas as well as in orange and lemon oil. It is a colorless liquid with a fatty, green odor and, in low concentration, is reminiscent of unripe fruit.
Hexanal is used in fruit flavors and, when highly diluted, in perfumery for obtaining fruity notes.

Uses

Hexanal occurs naturally inmany foods, such as in ripening fruits, or because of addition as a flavorant; it has an apple taste. It can also be produced in foods because of lipid peroxidation during cooking. It is mainly used as a food flavorant, in fragrances, and in the manufacture of dyes, plasticizers, synthetic resins, and pesticides. It is released to air and water during production or use for the manufacture of other products or during the use of these products themselves. It undergoes oxidation and polymerization readily.
Feron et al. identified hexanal in about 80 different types of food.
