Hexanal, also called hexanaldehyde or caproaldehyde is an alkyl aldehyde used in the flavor industry to produce fruity flavors.[4] Its scent resembles freshly cut grass, like cis-3-hexenal.[5] It is potentially useful as a natural extract that prevents fruit spoilage.[6] It occurs naturally, and contributes to a hay-like "off-note" flavor in green peas.[7]

The first synthesis of hexanal was published in 1907 by P. Bagard.[8]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
