Abstract
Aliphatic carbonyl compounds in soybean were studied. Volatile carbonyl compounds in defatted soybean flour were identified as methanal, ethanal, n-hexanal, 2-propanone, 2- pentanone, 2-heptanone, 2-heptenal, and 2,4-decadienal, while those in raw soybean as ethanal, n-hexanal, and 2-propanone. Four kinds of non-volatile carbonyl compounds were found in defatted soybean, two of which seemed to be carbonyl ester and carbonylic acid. It is probable that the compounds in defatted soybean are mostly the secondary products derived from autoxidation of the residual fatty acids and esters in the defatting process and/or during the storage thereafter. n-Hexanal in raw soybean amounts to approximately 10 p.p.m., which is, owing to its extremely low flavoring threshold, likely to be one of the main components of the green bean flavor.
