CIS-4-DECENAL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to very faint yellow liquid

Uses

cis-4-Decenal is suitable for use as standard compound to investigate the release of odorants in hydrocolloid model systems containing original or regio-selectively carboxylated cellulose at different pH values using static headspace gas chromatographic (SHS-GC) analysis. It may be used as standard for the standardization of 9-decenal by gas-chromatography. It may be used in the preparation of cis-4-decenol. It has been identified as one of the volatile biological marker for grey mold (Botrytis cinerea) infections in strawberry.

Definition

ChEBI: 4-Decenal is a monounsaturated fatty aldehyde.

General Description

cis-4-Decenal has been identified as one of the volatile biological marker for grey mold (Botrytis cinerea) infections in strawberry.

Safety Profile

Low toxicity by ingestion and skin contact. A skin irritant. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
