| Chemical Properties | clear faint yellow liquid |
| Chemical Properties | Tridecanal occurs in lemon oil
and has been identified as a volatile constituent of cucumber. It is a colorless liquid
having a fatty, waxy, slightly citrus-like odor. Addition of tridecanal to fragrance
compositions imparts fresh nuances in the top note as well as in the dry-out. |
| Chemical Properties | Colorless clear liquid; fresh, clean, aldehydic, soapy, citrus, petal, waxy, grapefruit peel aroma. |
| Occurrence | Reported found in angelica seed oil CO2 extract (0.50%), blood orange oil (Citrus senensis L. var. Sanguinello)
Italy (trace), blood orange oil (Citrus senensis L. var. Tarocco) Italy (trace), blood orange oil Italy (trace), cistus oil (0.1%), coriander
leaf oil (1.43–1.44%), Herniaria incana Lam. oil Greece (5.80%), orange peel oil sweet c.p. blond Italy (trace), and witch hazel leaf
oil (0.24%). |
| Uses | Tridecanal is a model compound in the nonradioactive assay/RP-HPLC-fluorescence analysis of aliphatic aldehydes employing the Hantzsch reaction. |
| Definition | ChEBI: Tridecanal is a long-chain fatty aldehyde that is tridecane in which two hydrogens attached to a terminal carbon are replaced by an oxo group. It has a role as a human metabolite and a volatile oil component. It is a saturated fatty aldehyde, a n-alkanal and a long-chain fatty aldehyde. It derives from a hydride of a tridecane. |
| Aroma threshold values | Aldehydic type, high strength odor; recommend smelling in a 1.00% solution or less. |
| General Description | The uptake of NO(3) on solid tridecanal was studied. |
