Abstract excerpt
The degradation of polyunsaturated fatty acids through the lipoxygenase pathway is responsible for the production of volatile compounds that confer green sensory notes to the aroma of fruits and vegetables. The peroxidation of free linoleic or linolenic acid by action of lipoxygenase and then the lysis of the resulting hydroperoxides, through a reaction catalyzed by the hydroperoxide lyase, are the most...
