General description

Nonanal is one of the key flavor components of olive oil, grapefruit oil and baked potato. It has been reported to be the odorant emitted by humans and birds that attracts Culex mosquitoes.

Application


  • Characteristics of Purified Horse Oil by Supercritical Fluid Extraction with Different Deodorants Agents.: Investigates the efficacy of Nonanal as a deodorizing agent in the purification of horse oil, exploring its potential to improve the sensory qualities of cosmetic products derived from animal fats (Anneke et al., 2024).

  • Characterization of the aroma-active compounds in Xiaokeng green tea by three pretreatment methods combined with gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O).: Utilizes Nonanal to identify and characterize the aroma-active compounds in green tea, enhancing understanding of tea flavor chemistry and consumer preferences (Gan et al., 2024).

The effects of fat content and nitrite-curing of pork were investigated on the formation of cytotoxic and genotoxic lipid oxidation products (malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, volatile simple aldehydes), protein oxidation products (protein carbonyl compounds) and NOC-specific DNA adducts (O6-carboxy-methylguanine) during in vitro
