clear colorless to pale yellow liquid

Occurrence

Reported found in cucumber, muskmelon, fish and pepino fruit (Solanum muricatum).

Uses

It is a flavor component of muskmelon fruit.

Definition

ChEBI: (Z)-non-6-enal is a monounsaturated fatty aldehyde that is (3Z)-non-3-ene which is carrying an oxo group at position 1. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a monounsaturated fatty aldehyde, an olefinic compound and a medium-chain fatty aldehyde.

Preparation

By catalytic hydrogenation of 6-nonynal diethyl acetal followed by hydrolysis

Aroma threshold values

Detection: 0.005 ppb

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 25 ppm: green cucumber and melon with a waxy vegetative nuance

Safety Profile

Low toxicity by ingestion and skin contact. A skin irritant. Flammable liquid when exposed to heat, sparks, or flame. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
