 | Chemical Properties | Ethyl-trans-2, cis-4-decadienoate has a characteristic pear-like flavor and a light fruity aroma.
 |  | Chemical Properties | Ethyl (2E,4Z)-2,4-Decadienoate has been identified in pears and has the
typical aroma of Williams pears. Synthesis of ethyl (2E,4Z)-2,4-decadienoate
starts from (Z)-1-heptenyl bromide, which is converted into a 1-heptenyllithium
cuprate complex with lithium and copper iodide. Reaction with ethyl propiolate
yields a mixture of 95% ethyl (2E,4Z)- and 5% ethyl (2E,4E)-2,4-decadienoate.
Pure ethyl (2E,4Z)-2,4-decadienoate is obtained by fractional distillation. A
biotechnological process for its preparation has been developed. |  | Chemical Properties | clear colorless to yellowish liquid |  | Occurrence | Reported found in Bartlett pears, apple, grape, durian (Durio zibethinus), pear brandy, quince and spineless
monkey orange (Strychnos madagasc). |  | Uses | Potential applications include the profile enhancement of guava, melon, pear, apple, banana, kiwi, grape, golden delicious apple, fruit cocktail juices, fruit nectar, mamey and other tropical backgrounds. |  | Definition | ChEBI: Ethyl (2E,4Z)-deca-2,4-dienoate is a fatty acid ethyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of (2E,4E)-deca-2,4-dienoic acid with the hydroxy group of ethanol. It has a role as a plant metabolite, a flavouring agent, a fragrance and a kairomone. It is functionally related to a (2E,4E)-deca-2,4-dienoic acid. |  | Aroma threshold values | Detection: 100 ppb. Aroma characteristics at 1.0%: sweet ripe pear, creamy and slightly fatty with fruity,
green, waxy apple, fleshy nuances |  | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 5 ppm: ripe pear, green fruity, waxy apple, tropical notes, fatty golden delicious apple
fleshy. Taste characteristics at 20 ppm: green, fruity, apple and pear with waxy tropical nuances. |  | Synthesis Reference(s) | Tetrahedron, 36, p. 1961, 1980 DOI: 10.1016/0040-4020(80)80209-2 |  | General Description | Natural occurrence: Apple, pear, grape, pear brandy and quince. |  | Biochem/physiol Actions | Odor at 1.0% |  | Synthesis | Synthetically via the lithium vinyl cuprates. |
