Headspace Volatile Aldehydes as Indicators of Lipid Oxidation in Foods

  • Chapter
Headspace Analysis of Foods and Flavors

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 488))

Abstract

Aldehydes are secondary breakdown products of unsaturated lipids. In particular, polyunsatu-rated lipid fatty acids of the omega-6 and omega-3 families are highly susceptible to oxidation. Using static headspace analysis, the specific aldehyde markers were studied. While, linoleic, gamma-linolenic and arachidonic acids found in different foods were precursors of hexanal,propanal was the dominant aldehyde formed from the breakdown of alpha-linolenic, eicos-apentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids. Thus, use of selected aldehydes for monitoring oxida-tion of food lipids is recommended.
