Common NamePentanal
DescriptionPentanal, also known as amyl aldehyde or N-valeraldehyde, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha-hydrogen aldehydes. These are aldehydes with the general formula HC(H)(R)C(=O)H, where R is an organyl group. Thus, pentanal is considered to be a fatty aldehyde. Pentanal is an almond, berry, and bready tasting compound. Pentanal is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as black walnuts (Juglans nigra), milk (cow), and safflowers (Carthamus tinctorius). Pentanal has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as soy beans (Glycine max), sweet cherries (Prunus avium), apples (Malus pumila), mollusks, and sweet bays (Laurus nobilis). This could make pentanal a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Pentanal is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on Pentanal.
