“…Among the numerous alcohols, aldehydes and ketones detected herein, hexanol, 1-penten-3-ol, 1-octen-3-ol, heptanal, nonanal, trans-2-octenal, cis-4-heptenal and 2,3-pentanedione have already been reported in the literature as products of chemical activity of fish (Duflos et al, 2006;Iglesias & Medina, 2008;Iglesias et al, 2009;Leduc et al, 2012;Selli & Cayhan, 2009;Soncin et al, 2009). In particular, heptanal, nonanal, cis-4-heptenal and 1-octen-3-ol are potent contributors to sea bream aroma (Selli & Cayhan, 2009), heptanal and nonanal arise respectively from the oxidation of n-6 and n-9, polyunsaturated fatty acid (Duflos et al, 2006;Soncin et al, 2009), cis-4-heptenal by the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids (Iglesias & Medina, 2008) and finally the presence of 1-octen-3-ol is associated with the oxidation of arachidonic acid by 12-lipoxygenase (Duflos et al, 2006;Iglesias & Medina, 2008).…”
