Abstract
Abstract cis -3, cis -6-Nonadienal and cis -3-nonenal in Cucumis sativus were identified by comparison with synthetic specimens. The identification of these compounds, combined with biochemical evidence, suggests that cucumber alcohol and trans -2-nonenol are biosynthesized via cis -3-unsaturated aldehydes from linolenic and linoleic acid, respectively.
