Occurrence

edit
 
The oysterplant, also known as sea bluebells, contains (3Z)-nonenal

(3Z)-Nonenal is a flavor component in various plants, such as cucumber, honeydew melon, and soy.[3][4][5][6] It is the biosynthetic precursor to (2E)-nonenal, formed by isomerases.[6] It also occurs in the brown algae Laminaria angustata.[7][8] In the oysterplant, it contributes to its oyster-like taste.[9]

Biosynthesis

edit

In various plants such as cucumbers and melons, (3Z)-nonenal is formed from linoleic acid to 9-hydroperoxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid and its splitting.[4][6][clarification needed] In Laminaria angustata, formation also occurs via arachidonic acid and its 12-hydroperoxide.[7][8][how?]

Synthesis

edit

(3Z)-Nonenal can be synthesized by oxidation of (3Z)-nonen-1-ol with pyridinium chlorochromate.[2] The compound can also be obtained through a multi-step reaction starting from 1,4-butanediol.[2][how?]

Properties

edit

The scent is described as fruity, melony, or maritime in low concentrations.[9] In an in vitro study, (3Z)-nonenal acted as a fungicide against various types of fungi.[3]
