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).

General description

Benzaldehyde is an aromatic flavor compound with a characteristic bitter almond taste and odor.[1] It has been identified in the volatile fractions of mushroom[2], medlar seeds[3] and cheese.[4]

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
