Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
12-Methyltridecanal, also known as 12-MT aldehyde or isotetradecan-1-al, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty aldehydes. These are long chain aldehydes with a chain of at least 12 carbon atoms. Thus, 12-methyltridecanal is considered to be a fatty aldehyde lipid molecule. 12-Methyltridecanal is considered to be a practically insoluble (in water) and relatively neutral molecule. 12-Methyltridecanal has been primarily detected in urine. Within the cell, 12-methyltridecanal is primarily located in the membrane (predicted from logP) and cytoplasm. 12-Methyltridecanal has a broth, cooked, and cooked meat taste. | [Chemical Properties]
12-Methyltridecanal has an aroma characteristic of stewed beef (meaty, tallow) | [Occurrence]
Stated to be of natural origin; has not been reported in any food items by TNO (Nutrition and Food Research)
(TNO, 2000) | [Uses]
12-Methyltridecanal (MT) was found in microorganisms samples isolated from beef. | [Biosynthesis]
It is believed that 12-methyltridecanal is preferentially a constituent of ruminants, possibly being synthesized by the bacteria in the rumen, andincorporated in the plasmalogens. | [Aroma threshold values]
