| Abstract: | cis-3,cis-6-Nonadienal and cis-3-nonenal in Cucumis sativus were identified by comparison with synthetic specimens. The identification of these compounds, combined with biochemical evidence, suggests that cucumber alcohol and trans-2-nonenol are biosynthesized via cis-3-unsaturated aldehydes from linolenic and linoleic acid, respectively. |
