Notes:
2,4-Decadienal was degraded to 2-octenal and ethanal by a watermediated alpha/beta double bond hydration, retro-aldol condensation reaction series. Subsequently, similar degradation of 2-octenal resulted in the formation of hexanal and ethanal. Two other significant compounds were tentatively identified as either 3-keto-t 4-decenal and 3-keto-c 4-decenal or anti and syn 2-carboxyaldehyde-5-pentyl-2,5-dihydrofuran. The rate of retro-aldol related degradations of 2,4-de-cadienal in aqueous model systems was independent of oxygen, but was greatly accelerated with heat. Decreases in concentrations of 2,4-decadienal isomers and some increases in hexanal and 2-octenal were noted in staling deep-fat fried chicken and fish during holding for 3 days at 6°C.
