Hexanal
Hexanal is an alkyl aldehyde found in human biofluids. Human milk samples collected from women contains hexanal. Among mediators of oxidative stress, highly reactive secondary aldehydic lipid peroxidation products can initiate the processes of spontaneous mutagenesis and carcinogenesis and can also act as a growth-regulating factors and signaling molecules. In specimens obtained from adult patients with brain astrocytomas, lower levels of n-hexanal are associated with poorer patient prognosis. Hexanal has also been identified as a uremic toxin according to the European Uremic Toxin Working Group (PMID:22626821). Hexanal is a volatile compound that has been associated with the development of undesirable flavours. The content of hexanal, which is a major breakdown product of linoleic acid (LA, n - 6 PUFA) oxidation, has been used to follow the course of lipid oxidation and off-flavour development in foods, and have been proposed as one potential marker of milk quality. A "cardboard-like" off-flavour is frequently associated with dehydrated milk products. This effect is highly correlated with the headspace concentration of hexanal. (Food Chemistry. Volume 107, Issue 1, 1 March 2008, Pages 558-569, PMID:17934948, 17487452). Constituent of many foodstuffs. A production of aerobic enzymatic transformations of plant constits. It is used in fruit flavours and in perfumery D000890 - Anti-Infective Agents > D000935 - Antifungal Agents D010575 - Pesticides > D007306 - Insecticides D016573 - Agrochemicals
(E)-2-octenal
Oct-2-en-1-al, also known as 2-octenal or oct-(E)-2-enal, is a member of the class of compounds known as medium-chain aldehydes. Medium-chain aldehydes are an aldehyde with a chain length containing between 6 and 12 carbon atoms. Oct-2-en-1-al is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Oct-2-en-1-al can be found in black walnut and burdock, which makes oct-2-en-1-al a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Oct-2-en-1-al can be found primarily in feces and urine. (E)-2-octenal is a flavoring ingredient for improving the aroma and flavor of cherries, dairy products, nuts, and meat. It is a colorless to slightly yellow liquid with fresh cucumber, fragrant herbs, banana leaf-like flavor. The boiling point of (E)-2-octenal (CAS 2548-87-0) is 84-86 degree Celcius, and when heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating vapours.
1-Hexanol
1-Hexanol is an organic alcohol with a six carbon chain and a condensed structural formula of CH3(CH2)5OH. This colorless liquid is slightly soluble in water, but miscible with ether and ethanol. Two additional straight chain isomers of 1-hexanol exist, 2-hexanol and 3-hexanol, both of which differ by the location of the hydroxyl group. Many isomeric alcohols have the formula C6H13OH. 1-hexanol is believed to be a component of the odour of freshly mowed grass. It is used in the perfume industry and as a flavouring agent. 1-Hexanol is found in many foods, some of which are lemon, tea, yellow bell pepper, and hyssop. 1-Hexanol is a common constituent of essential oils (e.g. orange peel oil). 1-Hexanol is an organic alcohol with a six carbon chain and a condensed structural formula of CH3(CH2)5OH.

Hexyl acetate
Hexyl acetate, also known as N-hexyl ethanoate or hexyl acetic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid esters. These are carboxylic acid derivatives in which the carbon atom from the carbonyl group is attached to an alkyl or an aryl moiety through an oxygen atom (forming an ester group). The acetate ester of hexan-1-ol. Hexyl acetate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Hexyl acetate is a sweet, apple, and banana tasting compound. Hexyl acetate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within highbush blueberries. Hexyl acetate has also been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as alcoholic beverages, pears, oats, roman camomiles, and sweet cherries. This could make hexyl acetate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Hexyl acetate is used in fruit essences and fruit aroma concentrates. It is found in wines, black tea, soya bean, roman camomile, peach, purple mangosteen, and muskmelon.
Hexyl hexanoate
Hexyl hexanoate, also known as capryl caproate or fema 2572, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid esters. These are carboxylic ester derivatives of a fatty acid. Hexyl hexanoate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Hexyl hexanoate is used in fruit flavouring. It is found in many fruits, parmesan cheese, alcoholic beverages and black tea. It is a volatile component from fruit ripening.
Hexyl butyrate
Occurs in many fruits. Hexyl butyrate is found in many foods, some of which are roman camomile, passion fruit, apple, and tea. Hexyl butyrate is found in apple. Hexyl butyrate occurs in many fruits.
(E)-4-Oxo-2-hexen-1-al
(E)-4-Oxo-2-hexen-1-al is found in herbs and spices. (E)-4-Oxo-2-hexen-1-al is a constituent of soy sauce
2-Octenal
2-Octenal is a flavouring ingredien. It has also been identified as a uremic toxin according to the European Uremic Toxin Working Group (PMID:22626821). Flavouring ingredient
trans-Octen-2-al
Trans-octen-2-al, also known as (E)-2-octenal or 2-octenal, (E)-isomer, is a member of the class of compounds known as medium-chain aldehydes. Medium-chain aldehydes are an aldehyde with a chain length containing between 6 and 12 carbon atoms. Thus, trans-octen-2-al is considered to be a fatty aldehyde lipid molecule. Trans-octen-2-al is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Trans-octen-2-al can be found in ginger and potato, which makes trans-octen-2-al a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.

As a uremic toxin, this compound can cause uremic syndrome. Uremic syndrome may affect any part of the body and can cause nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and weight loss. It can also cause changes in mental status, such as confusion, reduced awareness, agitation, psychosis, seizures, and coma. Abnormal bleeding, such as bleeding spontaneously or profusely from a very minor injury can also occur. Heart problems, such as an irregular heartbeat, inflammation in the sac that surrounds the heart (pericarditis), and increased pressure on the heart can be seen in patients with uremic syndrome. Shortness of breath from fluid buildup in the space between the lungs and the chest wall (pleural effusion) can also be present (T3DB).
