General description

3,5,5-Trimethylhexanal is an aliphatic aldehyde mainly used as an internal standard to quantify the volatile aldehydes in the root tissues of plants.

Application


  • Analysis, occurrence and potential sensory significance of aliphatic aldehydes in white wines.: Culleré et al. (2011) explore the presence and sensory impact of aliphatic aldehydes, including 3,5,5-trimethylhexanal, in white wines. The study highlights the role of these compounds in contributing to the aroma and flavor profiles of wines, emphasizing their importance in food chemistry and sensory science (Culleré et al., 2011).
