| Application: | Isovaleraldehyde was used as standard to evaluate the quality of olive oils by headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography using flame ionization detection and multivariate analysis. It was used as internal standard in determination of wine aroma carbonyl compounds with 5-8 carbon atoms. |
| General description: | Isovaleraldehyde is a short-chain aldehyde that can be produced by oxidizing isoamyl alcohol. Isovaleraldehyde is an attractant and its interaction with zoospores of the fungus Phytophthora palmivora has been studied by binding techniques. |
