Chemical Information
FooDB Name5-Hexenol
Descriptioncis-3-Hexen-1-ol, also known as (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol and leaf alcohol, is a colorless oily liquid with an intense grassy-green odor of freshly cut green grass and leaves. It is produced in small amounts by most plants and it acts as an attractant to many predatory insects. cis-3-Hexen-1-ol is a very important aroma compound that is used in fruit and vegetable flavors and in perfumes. The yearly production is about 30 tonnes . 5-hexenol is a member of the class of compounds known as fatty alcohols. Fatty alcohols are aliphatic alcohols consisting of a chain of a least six carbon atoms. 5-hexenol is soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). 5-hexenol is a green tasting compound found in common thyme, which makes 5-hexenol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
