“…These components may be generated by enzymatic reactions, lipid autoxidation, microbial degradation, and environmentally and thermally derived reactions (Shahidi and Cadwallader, 1997). Compounds of alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, as well as nitrogen-containing compounds and sulfocompounds, have been revealed as the main source of fishy odors (Campo et al, 2003;Josephson et al, 1984b;Khiari and Bruchet, 1999;Yoshiwa et al, 1997). Specific compounds of alcohols, ketones and aldehydes such as 2-methylpropanal, 2-methylbutanal, 2-pentanone, butylaldehyde, n-hexanal, n-heptenal, trans-4-heptenal, cis-3-hexenol, trans,cis-2,4-decadienal, trans-4-heptenal and 1-penten-3-one are considered contributors to the characteristic odor of aquatic products (Fukami et al, 2002;Hirano et al, 1992;Khiari and Bruchet, 1999;Yoshiwa et al, 1997).…”
