Description

General description

Benzaldehyde is an aromatic flavor compound with a characteristic bitter almond taste and odor. It has been identified in the volatile fractions of mushroom, medlar seeds and cheese.

Application

• Volatolomics-assisted characterization of the key odorants in green off-flavor black tea and their dynamic changes during processing.: This study highlights the role of Benzaldehyde in identifying and characterizing key odorants in green off-flavor black tea, using advanced volatolomics techniques. This research provides essential insights into flavor science and the impact of processing methods on tea quality (Yang et al., 2024).


• Volatilome and flavor analyses based on e-nose combined with HS-GC-MS provide new insights into ploidy germplasm diversity in Platostoma palustre.: This research uses Benzaldehyde as a standard in electronic nose and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses to explore plant volatilomes, significantly contributing to our understanding of plant biochemistry and genetic diversity (Zhong et al., 2024).
