Abstract
CHEMICAL mechanisms for the formation and decomposition of hydroperoxides in oxidizing lipids predict the presence of a wide range of compounds. Of these, three classes of aliphatic aldehydes (n-alkanals, n-alk-2-enals and n-alka-2,4-dienals) have long been isolated and identified and more recently the presence of non-conjugated unsaturated aldehydes (hex-cis-3-enal2 and hept-cis-4-enal3), a vinyl ketone (oct-1-en-3-one4) and its corresponding alcohol (oct-1-en-3-ol5,6) has also been demonstrated. The n-alkan-1-ols, also predicted by the mechanisms, had not hitherto been isolated and identified.
