General description

Benzaldehyde is an aromatic flavor compound with a characteristic bitter almond taste and odor. It has been identified in the volatile fractions of mushroom, medlar seeds and cheese.

Application


  • Volatolomics-assisted characterization of the key odorants in green off-flavor black tea and their dynamic changes during processing.: This study highlights the role of Benzaldehyde in identifying and characterizing key odorants in green off-flavor black tea, using advanced volatolomics techniques. This research provides essential insights into flavor science and the impact of processing methods on tea quality (Yang et al., 2024).

  • Volatilome and flavor analyses based on e-nose combined with HS-GC-MS provide new insights into ploidy germplasm diversity in Platostoma palustre.: This research uses Benzaldehyde as a standard in electronic nose and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses to explore plant volatilomes, significantly contributing to our understanding of plant biochemistry and genetic diversity (Zhong et al., 2024).

We previously reported the novel efficient proton/heat-promoted four-component reactions (4CRs) of but-2-ynedioates, two same/different primary amines, and aldehydes for the synthesis of tetra- and pentasubstituted polyfunctional dihydropyrroles. If aromatic and aliphatic amines were used as reagents, four different series of
