What is trans-2-hexenal?
Trans-2-hexenal is a fatty aldehyde compound containing unsaturated double bonds, naturally found in fresh fruits , vegetables , and plant leaves. It can also be prepared through chemical synthesis. Its molecular structure contains aldehyde groups (- CHO) and trans double bonds (C=C), and aldehyde groups endow it with active chemical properties, which can participate in oxidation, reduction, and addition reactions; The trans double bond determines its unique aroma characteristics and is a key aroma component that constitutes the "green leaf fragrance" and "green grass fragrance".
