Metabolite Identification

Common Name

(Z)-4-Hexenal

Description

(Z)-4-Hexenal belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain aldehydes. These are an aldehyde with a chain length containing between 6 and 12 carbon atoms. Thus, (Z)-4-hexenal is considered to be a fatty aldehyde (Z)-4-Hexenal has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as welsh onions (Allium fistulosum), garden onion (var.), garden onions (Allium cepa), red onion, and green onion. This could make (Z)-4-hexenal a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on (Z)-4-Hexenal.
